Open House / Open Studios

Visit with our current artists-in-residence to see their studios, view their works-in-progress, and discuss art, life, and their Bemis residency experience. Enjoy curator-led tours of our current exhibitions and guests can participate in a hands-on art activity by decorating their own opulent origami nails in exhibiting artist Imagine Uhlenbrock’s pop-up nail salon. Witness her artistry as she paints and decorates a few giveaway winners’ nails.

Galleries are open from 11–5 PM

Open House / Open Studios guests leave with a better understanding of the myriad of ways the Bemis Center supports today’s artists and why artists across the country and from around the world visit the Bemis to produce the art of tomorrow right here in Omaha.
