Artist’s dream
turns to reality
in Haymarket
By Kara Wells
Staff Reporter
From the outside, the Burkholder
Project in the Haymarket looks suspi
ciously like any other building. But
beyond the blue awnings of the build
ing lies a potpourri of artistic imagi
nation.
The red brick building is home to
26 artists, including Anne Burkholder,
the designer and owner of the Burk
holder Project.
ouiiuiuiuu, a icnuwnuu i^cuias&a
artist, has owned the Burkholder Project
for three years. A native of North
Platte, Burkholder said, ‘‘I’ve been
painting all my life. I had my first set
of oils when 1 was seven or eight. I
can’t remember wanting to do any
thing else.”
Owning her own studio was an
other dream of Burkholder’s. She had
been working in the Haymarket since
1977, and saw the possibility for ful
fillment of her dream there amongst
the aged buildings.
Burkholder said she had looked
into buying a lot of buildings in the
Haymarket while working in the area
and found the ideal space at 719 P St.
“I wanted to live where I worked
.... This attracted me from the begin
ning,” she said, ‘It’s been a dream of
mine for 20 years.”
The spacious building and large
windows appealed to Burkholder, who
was both the architect and the de
veloper of the building. With a little
renovation, Burkholder transformed
the former carpet warehouse into the
Project.
The building houses 26 studios
and four gallery spaces, as well as
three loft apartments. Here, Burk
holder discovered her dream, a place
to work and to live.
Burkholder leases the individual
studios to artists. She said that most of
the original artists that moved in three
years ago still are working at the
Burkholder Project
Burkholder said she sees the gal
ley as a healthy environment for the
artists.
“Here, at the galley, we’re getting
artists together in a community where
the public could sec their works in
progress,” she said. “It makes art
and artists more accessible.”
Julie McCullough, who creates
fantasy soft sculpture, has leased a
studio in the Burkholder Project since
it opened three years ago.
“It beats working at home,” she
laughs.
McCullough said the Burkholder
Project has a “much more nurturing
environment” for her, and besides,
she said, “there’s more credibility in
having a studio than working out of
your home . . .. You take yourself
more seriously.”
McCullough said that with her own
studio, it’s easier to get away from
work. She said she doesn’t take as
much work home with her.
Having a studio open to the public,
though, she said, has it’s pluses and
minuses.
“Sometimes it’s a real distrac
tion,” she said, "but I believe strongly
that it’s in my best interest to be open
to the public.”
The Burkholder Project is open
Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5
p.m.
“There is an open door policy
here.... If the door’s open, the public
comes in,” she said.

year’s success.
Jennifer Schi/as, executive direc
tor of the Lincoln Arts Council, said
that although Summertime Nebraska
didn't have all of the elements of both
the Flatwatcr and Haymarkct festi
vals, the artists from eight states who
participated in the event and were of
exceptional quality.
Schi/as, who described the festi
val as “outstanding,” said the artists
were pleased with the business and
the location of their booths.
But Sue Howard, manager of the
Burlington Arcade, said some of the
artists and craftspeople told her ihey
didn’t do as well as they had done at
the Flatwatcr Festival in past years.
Although Howard said her store
had "lots of traffic,” she said it proba
bly didn’t do belter sales each day
than it would have done on a good
Saturday.
But she said the festival did in
crease the store’s exposure and by
Tuesday the store already had return
business from people who visited it
during the festival.

ing only one position unfilled.
“We seem to generate a pretty
good list of applicants,’ ’ Kilgore said,
in part because of the school’s reputa
tion and in part because the state has
provided more money for salaries
But he said competitive starting
salaries will be crucial to continue to |
attract quality faculty members, be- t
cause as the market for faculty mem
bers increases, “it becomes a buyer's §
market.” |
The retirements will allow a new S
generation to enter education, he said. 1
He said the number of doctorate t?
students and the number of openings B
in the market for faculty do not di- |
rcctly correlate. But UNL’s graduate r
students arc extremely capable, he fg
said. _ R
