Art galleries in Omaha

Omaha, Nebraska has 6 art galleries on the map. That's 6 galleries mapped around Omaha. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Many are free to enter, so the only cost of a gallery afternoon is your time.

This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Omaha (within about 25 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Old Market Artists Gallery and Artists' Cooperative Gallery, plus KANEKO. If a gallery's missing from Omaha's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Gallery tips for Omaha

A few things worth knowing before you work through Omaha's art galleries:

• The bookshop corner is curated at Old Market Artists Gallery. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
• Ask about the artists at Artists' Cooperative Gallery. Local, emerging, mid-career — the gallerist can tell you who's who and why this show matters.
• Follow the galleries online. Openings and one-night events get announced on social media first. One follow catches them all.
• Ask about private views. Mailing lists get you invited to previews — quieter, with the artists around and first pick of the work.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Omaha — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Omaha can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 6 that's closed, or a great art gallery we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 6 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
