LUX Center for the Arts has promoted Programs Director Lindsey Clausen to the position of Associate Director starting on May. 1. Lindsey has served as Education Director and later as Programs Director since 2014. 

“In her time at the LUX, Lindsey has expanded and improved our classes, camps and programs while overseeing our Education efforts and our Artist-in-Residence program,” said Executive Director Joe Shaw. “We’re excited to promote Lindsey to Associate Director to use her entrepreneurial thinking to strategize and plan for the future of the LUX Center for the Arts.”

Lindsey Clausen has built a lifetime of experiences with the LUX. She grew up in Lincoln just blocks from the University Place Art Center, now known as the LUX Center for the Arts. She was a student and volunteer at the LUX throughout her youth. While studying to get her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln she continued her involvement by becoming an education intern and later a teaching artist. After she received her BFA, Lindsey continued to work exclusively for local art and education non-profits. Now, after almost 7 years overseeing the educational programs of the LUX, she will be transitioning to more fundraising and development work. 

Lindsey is passionate about helping others and making the arts accessible to people from all walks of life. Lindsey says, “I believe the LUX has built a vibrant community, and I am very excited to be a part of the leadership that will bring even more arts learning to Lincoln in the next few years."
