"Omaha Creative Institute is a fantastic addition to the Omaha art scene. Participating in a class with my children was a fun and unique experience. Instruction by local creative artists really makes this a special opportunity for all ages."

– Julie Stavneak, Owner of J. Development Company

"Omaha Creative Institute has a vital role to play in Omaha. Research shows that when the arts are valued in a community, there are economic, cultural and social benefits. Art experiences have the capacity to build social networks and to promote diversity while giving participants opportunities to collaborate in positive and meaningful ways. As an artist and art therapist, I know that creative acts can increase self-esteem, promote problem solving, relieve stress and promote a sense of enjoyment. I am proud to support Omaha Creative Institute's important work."

- Janet Eskridge, Donor

Support Omaha Creative Institute

At Omaha Creative Institute, we believe that the artistic possibilities, sense of accomplishment, and joy that come from creative expression should be available for everyone to experience. Originally formed as an initiative of the Hot Shops Art Center, Omaha Creative Institute has blossomed into a collaborative entity that strives to provide leadership, opportunities, and tools to help members of the community embrace their creative impulses and accomplish the unexpected.

We are passionate about providing a variety of ways for the Omaha community to experience art, awaken their inner creative spirits, and unleash possibilities they may never have known existed. Our workshops offer a creative outlet for participants to explore their full potential, with no experience necessary. It is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to discover his or her inner artist, entrepreneur, or creative thinker.

As a mission-based, nonprofit arts organization, Omaha Creative Institute is entirely dependent on the on-going support of the Omaha community. Twenty percent of our revenue comes from workshop fees and events, and the rest of our funding comes from partnerships, grants, and the generosity of individual donors. A donation to the Omaha Creative Institute goes directly toward our operational expenses.

Creative thinking is vital in our world, so please donate to OCI today, enroll in one of our Come Create It workshops, or arrange for a customized experience for your workplace team. Your support gives Omaha Creative Institute funding to develop other inspiring programming and initiatives in the greater Omaha area and to support local artists in their professional endeavors. Thank you for your consideration and for stopping by to learn about Omaha Creative Institute. Now, come create something with us!
