Thomas said Omaha has a burgeoning creative community, which is broadening from its basis in the arts and culture to creative thinking behind every aspect of city life – from business to transportation and engineering. “This city is so focusing on creativity and innovation and entrepreneurship,†Thomas said. “I think this is the kind of place where entrepreneurs can really get a toe hold and live, until they can get things up and running, and then really take advantage of the growing metropolitan area.†Omaha Creative Week, she said, is helping to bridge the fields of art, business and technology, and make creativity accessible to the city as a whole.
Omaha Creative Week includes over 30 events, or creative “Sparks†as organizers call them, which begin Friday and run through September 9th. To see the full schedule of events, click here.
