Our concentration of 90 artists at the Hot Shops has forged a truly unique arts organization, and the work they do enhances the vibrant arts community in Greater Omaha. Check out the impact some of our resident artists have been making recently!
The Hot Shops was proud to partner with the OEAA’s in the creation of this year’s award, created by artist Matthew Shrader. Congratulations to Hot Shops’ resident artists and all of this year’s winners!

Congratulation to Jack on his selection for the Emerging Artists Exhibition at the Artists Cooperative Gallery.
“I’m enamored with faces and all the expressions a face can make. I am very spontaneous with my work. I try not to plan too much ahead, and I go with the flow of creating an expression. I took more industrial classes than art classes in high school. Without much traditional art education, I make what I like and what looks good to me. I like to just have fun and be loose when creating and try not to take myself too seriously.”
You can see the exhibit at 405 S. 11th Street. Feb. 27-March 31. There is an opening reception Saturday, March 2 from 2-4 p.m.
