Omaha Central Library's New Call for Public Art

Deadline: August 2

To celebrate the April 2027 first anniversary of Omaha Central Library, OPL is partnering with Amplify Arts and looking for applicants working at the intersection of art and technology to create a new permanent public artwork for Omaha Central Library that sparks public participation and interaction. If your creative practice connects ideas, information, and people through emerging media, creative coding, or other interactive technology, this may be the perfect opportunity for you.

This call is the first phase in a process that will result in the selection of one project. Thanks to the investment of generous donors, coordinated by Heritage Omaha, the selected project will be awarded a budget of $75,000 and a place in Omaha Central Library’s collection of public artwork. Applications are open from June 29 to August 2, 2026.
