=== Storefront Theater === The Storefront Theater is located on Main Street in Lyons. It is one of four projects that are a part of the Byway of Art project created through a $200,000 ArtPlace America grant awarded to the [[Center for Rural Affairs]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://journalstar.com/news/state-and-regional/nebraska/lyons-turns-storefront-into-outdoor-theater/article_13dd3956-c7b0-5721-87b0-43b8ac9e0a78.html|title=Lyons turns storefront into outdoor theater|last=Journal|first=NICK HYTREK / Sioux City|work=JournalStar.com|access-date=2017-12-09|language=en}}</ref> The Byway of Art project was created by former Lyons resident Adele Phillips and conceptual artist Matthew Mazzotta.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://netnebraska.org/article/news/998248/public-art-projects-aim-create-community-main-street|title=Public Art Projects Aim to Create Community on Main Street {{!}} netnebraska.org|last=Brocious|first=Ariana|date=November 17, 2015|website=netnebraska.org|access-date=2017-12-09}}</ref> The Storefront Theater creates a seating and performance area on the street. When not in use the structure appears to be a typical storefront. However, what appears to be a standard building consists of a false facade that lowers down toward the street and over the sidewalk. Bleachers behind the storefront theater pull out for seating.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> The Storefront Theater was selected as part of the Americans for the Arts 2016 Public Art Network Year in Review program.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfra.org/news/160617/lyons-storefront-theater-honored-national-award|title=Lyons Storefront Theater Honored with National Award|last=Smith|first=Elisha|date=2016-06-17|website=Center for Rural Affairs|language=en-US|access-date=2017-12-09}}</ref>
