Enhancing Omaha's
Cultural Landscape

The Bemis Center's Art 4 Omaha Initiative

The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts created the Art 4 Omaha initiative to raise public arts awareness by collaborating with community members in the creation of spectacular artwork for display in prominent locations. By directly involving the community in the creation of public art, the Art 4 Omaha projects have significant civic impact, both culturally and educationally. The close involvement in the creative process enables people to take a leading role in the art that enlivens Omaha's cityscape, which in turn creates a sense of personal ownership in the contemporary arts culture of our city. For this reason, the Bemis Center is truly proud that Art 4 Omaha means art for everyone.
