So excited and honored to win Outstanding Arts Event! 🥲🙌🏼
This year's Outstanding Event is Lincoln Fashion Weekend. The award recognizes an arts event that makes a substantial contribution to Lincoln's cultural life.
Lincoln Fashion Weekend is the premier celebration of style and artistry in the heart of the Midwest. More than just a clothing showcase, this high-energy event transforms the local creative scene into a professional runway experience, spotlighting the talent of regional designers, models, and stylists. Hosted at sophisticated venues like Venue 5 Twenty-Two, the weekend is anchored by a flagship runway show that blends high fashion with an immersive, communal atmosphere.
Attendees enjoy a full-sensory experience, starting with a glamorous red-carpet arrival and continuing into a night filled with curated music, immersive photo ops, and high-octane fashion. Whether you’re a VIP enjoying exclusive lounge access and hosted hors d’oeuvres or a general admission guest in the “style capital” zone, the energy is electric.
Congrats, Lincoln Fashion Weekend, and thank you to the award sponsor Donna Dahlsten!
