OneWorld Health Care Workforce Development Center Call for Public Art
Earlier this year, Amplify and the partners working to build the OneWorld Health Care Workforce Development Center at the organization’s Livestock Exchange Campus in South Omaha, opened a call for public art.
As a result of the call, artist Bryan Raymundo was selected by an external panel of OneWorld staff and building team members. His work, which celebrates the neighborhood’s rich cultural history, will be applied to Fundermax High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) panels and installed on the first level exterior of the new building scheduled to open in 2027.
