Omaha Creative Institute Announces Next Event in Working Artists Wednesday Series

Working Artist Wednesdays in June are all about covering your assets. The topic of discussion during the main session will be archives. Why is important to create and maintain an accurate archive of your work? Where do you start and how do you stick with it?

Join Jun Kaneko Studio archivist, Natasha Bishop, on June 6 at 6:30 p.m. in OCI’s new space, located at 1419 South 13th Street, to learn best practices when it comes to getting a handle on knowing exactly where your work has been and where it’s going next.

OCI’s Working Artists Wednesday is a year-round event series, which provides professional development opportunities that focus on learning practical skills, designed to help Omaha area artists cultivate or refresh the professional aspects of their creative practice. Each month is devoted to one topic. Expert community partners will lead a main learning session, followed by a hands-on, collaborative workshop later in the month. Participants will create robust networks of peers and professional contacts alongside these opportunities to self-evaluate and learn from others’ experiences.

Every session/workshop is free and open to the public. OCI cannot offer childcare services, but parents you are more than welcome to bring your children if childcare is not available to you.

The WAW Series is sponsored in part by the Iowa West Foundation.
