The Artists' Co-op is a non-profit, tax-exempt gallery, located in Omaha’s historic Old Market area. They strive for personal artistic growth and professionalism in presentation and are dedicated to exhibiting quality art on a year-round basis.The co-op is an artist run gallery. Artists volunteer time to staff the gallery and operate all aspects of the business. There are no gallery commissions. Sales go directly to the artist. The Co-op also offer the unique opportunity for you to actually meet the creator of the art, because the person at the desk is one of the artists.

Artist run galleries are a great place to make a purchase with investment potential. The artist is allowed the spontaneity to show exciting new work and the freedom to price at their own discretion. It’s fair game to check the artist’s resume before you purchase. This will show you the artist’s professional accomplishments and help you feel comfortable with a purchase.

Downtown Gift Card On Sale Now!

Redeemable at a Wide Variety of Downtown Businesses

Downtown Omaha is staying true to its roots.  The downtown area has gotten a much needed modernized facelift thanks to the area around TD Ameritrade Park, called North Omaha Downtown or NODO for short.  That does not mean Downtown Omaha has forgotten what has made it such a unique place. 

Downtown Omaha has and always will be a destination for Omahans and visitors alike.  Not just because of the historic Old Market, Museums, or other cultural events, rather because of the people.  Downtown Omaha has such a wide variety of unique shops and restaurants that it brings people from all walks of life into one place at one time.  No matter who you are or what your background is there is definitely something for everyone to appreciate in Downtown Omaha.

One of the most popular draws about Downtown Omaha is the unique shopping.  Most of the malls in America house the roughly the same stores and big national if not global companies.  Shopping in Downtown Omaha is a little bit different.  Most of the shops are locally owned and operated and have been for the last several decades.  It would be a safe bet to say that there are not many places in Nebraska or the US that you could buy an old school vinyl record, walk a few feet buy a hand rolled cigar, walk a few more feet and buy designer clothes.  The shops in downtown Omaha truly have something for everyone.

The Downtown area is also littered with amazing restaurants and eateries.  From fine dining, to Mexican, to pasta, to French, anything your heart desires can be found in Downtown Omaha.

Why spend your time walking around a mall that is not unique or even that much different than the other mall just a few miles away.  Why not spend your time walking around an area that is as unique as it is historic.  While you shop or eat downtown you are also helping your local small businesses and make sure that they stay locally owned for many years to come.

What better way to gift the gift of fun, food, and shopping to a friend than through the Downtown Gift Card.  The Downtown Omaha Gift Card is the first of its kind that allows recipients to redeem its value at a wide variety of Downtown Omaha’s restaurants, bars, retail and service outlets, event venues, attractions, museums, art galleries, and hotels.  Currently, the gift card can be redeemed at over 65 businesses with more being added every day.  Click here for the complete list of redeeming merchants or go to www.omahadowntown.org.Order your Downtown Gift Card today and let the fun BEGIN!!

The new gift card are available online at www.omahadowntown.org The cards are available in any denomination between $10 and $500, and operate like most gift card programs.  The Omaha Downtown Improvement District Association (DID) oversees the sale and distribution of the gift cards.

Anderson O'Brien Fine Art presents Sharon Booma
"The Writing's on the Wall"

Exhibition Ends Sunday, May 22
Exhibiting work since 1986, her complex paintings have been in several museum invitationals and earned special recognition by leading art journals nationwide. Abstract artist, Sharon Booma, has exhibited her unique and widely acclaimed art throughout North America and Europe.

Sharon Booma lived in Omaha from 1995-2000 and enjoyed getting to know the people, the community and its positive and generous outlook. Attracted to grittier parts of the city, Booma was happy to find an old hardware store in downtown Omaha full of old nuts and bolts and all sorts of treasures that ultimately ended up being part of her art. he “Writing’s on the Wall” was influenced by the development of new ideas on her canvases. The numbers featured in the paintings are a universal language and also a definitive statement, which grounds the more elusive areas of the canvas. Booma explains, “When I start a piece, I may have an intention of where I think the work should go, but often arrive somewhere I hadn’t imagined.”

Science Fair

90 plus Artists, 3 Floors, 1 Night

February 5th 2011

Urban Storage Building

Corner of 13th and Leavenworth

.

Come celebrate with us - our growing downtown arts community as these ARTISTS add to the area's collective creative mind!

.

In the Omaha area and more specifically the downtown area the arts community is growing. Each and every year there are an increasing number of new artists coming here and they add to the area's collective creative mind. Where their artwork is displayed may vary from artist to artist, from exhibits in a successful gallery with pristine white walls or a friend's cinder block basement, these artists are all carving out their own piece of the community and in turn, helping this all progress into a community that truly respects and embraces the arts. The 2011 exhibition, The Science Fair, will be a celebration of this.

On February 5th 2011, the Urban Storage building on the corner of 13th and Leavenworth will be overrun by more than 90 artists, performers and musicians.  Each of the participants were given a single storage space in the massive warehouse to do with as they saw fit. By being able to decorate the space with their art and other personal touches this gives those who attend a personal view into the artists world.  Visitors to The Science Fair will be treated to a visual and sonic feast ranging from a single work of art hanging in a unit to full solo exhibitions, massive installations, site specific performance pieces and sets from local bands as they wander the maze of units.

If you have ever had a passion for the arts, then this is the perfect place for you go to and sample such a wide variety of skill, artwork, and be around other with the same passion.  This is not your typical art show with just murals and paintings on the wall this event really comes to life with the performers and the local bands that will be setting the mood for the night.  So we ask that you please attend and you may even find a piece of yourself that you have long since forgotten.
