         The Lincoln City Cultural Center would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, patrons and volunteers. The funds raised in this year’s Culture, of Course! will ensure continued operations and renovations, providing a welcoming and restored exterior to the building and surrounding property, as well as daily operations and expenses. The LCCC is proud to be a home to diverse artistic disciplines and genres across the visual and performing arts in the heart of Lincoln City. Your generous and continued support is tremendously appreciated.
