Stories of Home was the Lincoln Arts Council's public arts project celebrating that which brings us together - family - and that which sets us apart - the diversity within our human community. The project engaged and connected the people of Lincoln by transforming families' experiences into works of art.

Shaped around a visual arts project led by renowned artist Pepón Osorio, a dozen professional artists created sculptures that told families' stories. The 12 works traveled through the community from June 2006 through February 2007. They were shown - both together and separately - in homes, schools, businesses and community centers where people can get a close look and talk about the stories the artworks tell.

During these months, community partners presented Stories of Home Windows, performances, literary activities, educational activities and a new media project for children.
