Willard Community Center is honored to be recognized at the 2025 Lincoln Arts Awards with the Arts for Everyone Award. This recognition celebrates organizations and individuals who make the arts accessible, inclusive, and impactful for their community.

The evening brought together a remarkable gathering of artists, sponsors, and community leaders, each playing a role in strengthening Lincoln’s vibrant arts culture. For Willard, the award highlights the many ways the arts have been woven into our mission to help people of all ages grow, connect, and contribute.

From preschoolers discovering creativity through hands-on projects, to aging adults engaging in new forms of self-expression, to Intergenerational experiences like origami classes and campus concerts, Willard embraces the arts as a powerful tool for building community and connection.

We are humbled to be included among so many talented individuals and organizations who continue to inspire and uplift through the arts. This award not only honors our past efforts but also encourages us to expand opportunities for creativity at Willard.

We extend our gratitude to the Lincoln Arts Council, our dedicated staff and volunteers, and to the community members whose passion and support make this work possible. Together, we can ensure that the arts remain a source of inspiration and connection for everyone.
