What We Do
At the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, we have one mission: to support exceptional talent. We accomplish this in everything we do - from our internationally renowned Artist-in-Residence program and special events programming to our world-class exhibitions and community art projects. Since 1981, the Bemis Center has provided close to seven hundred artists from around the globe with well-equipped studio spaces, living accommodations and monthly stipends. In Omaha, artists live and work within a supportive community where they experience growth, experiment artistically and confront new challenges. We also present a wide variety of programming that brings the very best in contemporary art directly to the public. Our events include world-class rotating exhibitions, the cutting-edge curator-in-residence Bemis Underground program, educational Art Talks, video screenings, gallery talks, panel discussions, workshops, open studios and Slide Jams, as well as our community-based public art projects. Visit the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts today and experience for yourself what we have to offer.
