Art matters in Omaha, especially now. And putting local artists to work in the current climate is vital to the health of our community. Thriving cities throughout the nation have successfully added vibrancy and improved public perception through art. We can, too. Art + Infrastructure is a public art project focused on adding vibrant art to lonely underpasses, quiet passageways, and often-forgotten structures. By beautifying Omaha's "in-between spaces" we hope that neighborhoods will become more connected residents will feel safer, and visitors will experience moments of joy in this city we call home.
We are connecting the dots between Omaha's ordinary, infrastructure-heavy areas and its most desirable and engaged neighborhoods, making the passage from one area to another more enticing, safe, and even delightful.
