Amplify nurtures Omaha’s arts ecosystem by responding to and advocating for artists’ needs, cultivating a sustainable network of mutual support that allows them to live and thrive here.
We build connections between artists, organizers, and cultural workers and the broader community, inviting public participation, conversation, and co-creation that strengthens resident retention and attracts creative thinkers to our city.
Your tax deductible donation of any size helps us create opportunities for the artists working to make Omaha a more livable, more vibrant place!
Supporting Amplify’s programming means supporting artists and organizers working to investigate our present and inspire a more just, equitable future for our community.
Alternate Currents
Alternate Currents (AC) is a two-year program designed to support artists and organizers working to incubate liberatory ideas that move our community forward. An alternative to a conventional MFA, AC cohort members work together to understand how justice in the arts is interpreted, documented, and enacted.
Slow Lab
Slow Lab incubates initiatives rooted in collaboration and research. It dedicates attention and organizational resources to the kind of systems level work that takes time.
Generator Series
Generator Series projects champion exploration over expectation. These artist-led projects invite participation, foster collaboration, and enable creative work to take shape outside larger institutional systems.
