Occidental, located at 735 O Street in downtown Lincoln, will feature local artist Steven Avery as part of the upcoming First Friday Artwalk. Avery will be showcasing and selling his artwork throughout the month, with a portion of all proceeds benefiting Voices of Hope.

The organization offers crisis counseling, safety planning, support groups, assistance with protection orders, education/training to the community and a 24/7 crisis line empowering survivors and helping them move toward safety and healing.
This collaboration brings together local art and community action, giving attendees an opportunity to enjoy creative work while supporting essential services for survivors in Lincoln.
