Located in the historic Old Market, Omaha’s arts and culture district, Bemis Center's 110,000 square foot facility accommodates a broad range of artistic activity. Selected artists-in-residence enjoy generous sized, private live/work studios complete with kitchen and bathroom, a $1,250 USD monthly stipend and $750 travel stipend. Due to the limitations of B2 visas (touring/visiting), international artists-in-residence are ineligible for direct stipend payment, but are eligible to receive reimbursement up to the total stipend amount of qualified expenses, such as airfare, ground transportation, and meals. Selected artists are responsible for organizing travel to Omaha to attend the residency. Artists-in-residence have 24-hour access to extensive installation and production spaces and the Okada Sculpture & Ceramics Facility, a 9,000 square foot industrial space used for large-scale sculpture fabrication; and a Sound Studio for rehearsing and recording. For a list of current tools and equipment available to Bemis Residents, see here: https://bemiscenter.box.com/s/5bm982d3pjbgv6toyigd7y2oqn6k53hm
This is an independently-driven, process-based residency in a communal environment, fostering creative growth, experimentation, and supportive exchange. There are no expectations placed on residents to create, nor promise of an exhibition in our first-floor galleries. Artists who are interested in applying to any 2026 open call opportunity (Jan–April, May–August, or September–November) will be required to submit a separate application and application fee for each designated session. In the event an artist is selected for more than one session, the artist will select one session to attend. Deadline: March 31, 2025 by 11:59 PM CST. Complete details can be found at bemiscenter.org/apply.
Deadline:
31/March/2025
