We partner with organizations, stakeholders and experts who share a common vision for strengthening our communities.

Our programs build bridges across disciplines and across community populations.

We focus on creative workforce development, arts-based community empowerment, design-based solutions, and creating new livability resources that are  accessible to all.

Launched in 2021, Omaha Mobile Stage (OMS) uses creative placemaking, community-based arts and cultural resources, and multidisciplinary collaboration to expand live performing arts opportunities and make space for creatives to participate in community and economic development in the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area.

OMS added an audio engineer internship program in 2022.

Launched in 2024, OurStory Small Houses creates aging-ready homes that seek affordability at the intersection of innovation, design, finance, and policy.

OurStory fills a gap in the market for small house designs that are constructible, financeable, environmentally sustainable, and empowering.
