About: The new Omaha Central Library envisions a dynamic civic hub where public art enhances the building’s role as a center for community connection and cultural vitality. Through site-specific artworks, urban design, and equity-focused community engagement, the project reflects Omaha’s creative assets and diverse voices. Key priorities include curating public spaces at a civic scale, managing multidisciplinary teams to implement innovative artworks, and fostering shared ownership within Omaha’s evolving cultural and economic landscape. This initiative positions the new library as a site of common ground and creative exploration for current and future generations.
