At Amplify, we know artists shape the social, economic, and environmental facets of our city. They propose new ways of responding to the collective challenges we face, distill complex concepts into emotionally resonant formats, and help us envision more just and equitable futures. Their work deserves support!

We want Omaha to become a place where artists want to live. There are a lot of positive things happening here and there are things we can improve. Our annual Artist Survey help us better understand what opportunities and resources artists need to thrive. Click a button to the left to see the results of that year’s survey.


Please note: These results are not meant to represent all artists in the Omaha metro. Each survey includes over 100 anonymous responses, but we know we have work to do reaching artists of different disciplines, ages, races, identities, etc. You may also notice that for some of the questions the percentages add up to more than 100%. That is because respondents were able to choose more than one answer for these questions.

If you have any questions about the survey results, don't hesitate to email the team at info@amplifyarts.org)!
