Bemis Creativity Festival

Bemis hosted the Creativity Festival, a series of awesome free events from Thursday through Saturday - music, exhibitions, panels, workshops, open studio tours - it was really fun, informative, and inspiring.

Much of the conference was devoted to talking about "creative communities" and how to foster, support and keep them alive and buzzing. It's clear that the Bemis is dedicated to promoting and helping develop the arts in Omaha, a task that they see as vital to the health of a city or community. I wish all cities would be committed to that same purpose, even if it's at the expense of business or economy at times.

Anyway, here are some photos from the festival:
