Second Friday Art Show Featuring Brain Coate

Since January's First Friday lands on The New Years day we are pushing it back to the Second Friday.

The artist for January is Brian Coate. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska and currently residing in Lincoln. Coate is taking a few semesters off from UNL where he has studied art and is working on his BFA. His work has profound stylistic and conceptual influences from the post impressionists of the 1800s and the expressionists and modernists of the 20th century. The subject of Coates work are taken from his sketches of images from everyday life: the people he has seen and occupied. Coate has worked mostly in acrylic, the paintings are abstractions of these images varying degrees. Coate use colors, lines, and bold brush strokes to accentuate the expression of human emotion and experience while still using the initially observed subject as a strong basis.

We have NEW boots coming soon!

Palladium was founded in 1920 to make tires for the fledgling aviation industry. Tires were made by layering canvas bands underneath vulcanized rubber. Palladium’s expertise was so advanced that soon the majority of Europe’s aircraft were using Palladium tires.

After World War II, with aircraft manufacturing screeching to a halt, the demand for tires decreased dramatically. Palladium decided to open a plant in Pont De Cheruy, France, to start producing footwear that was as hard wearing as their tires. In 1947 the legendary Pampa boot was born, and the functionality, comfort and durability were so outstanding that the French Foreign Legion adopted it for their use. The Foreign Legion put the boot to the test in the harsh desert conditions of North Africa, and throughout the rugged terrain of the Atlas Mountains.

Today, the original design, classic lines and time tested utility are as relevant as they have ever been. Combining over 60 years of authenticity with modern manufacturing, premium materials and cutting edge styling, Palladium boots are ready to help you explore your street, your city, or the world.
