Weekend Fun: MCC Gallery of Art and Design & Open Omaha
ON OUR BLOCK: A running feature of inspiring events, people and stories.
As we enter a summery August, the Lozafina team has you covered with events happening at “On Our Block.” Gather your family and friends to further explore what our city offers!
Open Omaha
Another expected way to explore the city is Open Omaha, which will take place on Saturday, August 3, and Sunday, August 4, this year. Organized by Omaha By Design, Open Omaha is a way to explore historical landmarks, businesses, sacred sites and creative spaces throughout the city. The event is free and open to the public and includes 75 venues to explore. There’s an app to download to track where you’ve visited and interact.
MCC Gallery of Art & Design
The Metropolitan Community College Elkhorn Valley Campus has its own art gallery, and it has just opened its summer exhibition. Titled “Good on Paper—Works by Karen Kunc & Hannah Demma,” the exhibit features works from the two Lincoln-based artists. Kunc specializes in woodcut printmaking, and Demma creates pieces using handmade paper. There is a closing reception and artist gallery talk on Thursday, August 15, at 5:30 p.m.
