Hot Shops Art Center

Our biggest event of the year, the bi-annual Hot Shops Open House fits everyone’s taste. The event features fun and informative art demonstrations and live music, with residents of the Hot Shops opening their studios to the public. All of the galleries host events, and the buildings wall are filled with art in a wide variety of mediums. We invite the community to visit the Hot Shops Art Center and experience a very unique Omaha art venue.

Our next open house will be Saturday, December 3rd, and Sunday, December 4th, 2011.
Please donate a non-perishable food item for the Food Bank when you visit the Hot Shops Art Center Open House. Collection boxes will be available.

Bruning Sculpture, Hot Shops Pottery, and Crystal Forge make up the very heart of the Hot Shops Art Center, with the molten nature of their work giving it its “hot” name. We also house over 80 studio artists, as well as four gallery spaces, in our building complex located in downtown Omaha, just north of the Century Link Center at the corner of 13th and Nicholas. For complete info, please follow the General Info link above.

We’ve been pinned by the Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau as one of Omaha’s top attractions. Come down and see why!
