Hot Shops Art Center

In 1999 a group of creative risk-takers were looking for a space to share so they could work together more efficiently. They found a building and formed the highly collaborative, supportive community of artists that is now at the Hot Shops Art Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

It all started with a few creatives asking, “What if we shared molten resources and invited others in?” The Hot Shops Art Center was the first of its kind in the area and is now home to 90 resident artists in 50 studios.

At our heart, we provide makers and artists a place and opportunity to be creative. Our greatest success lies in watching countless artists grow and thrive in their craft.

We are a living museum.

Imagine what happens when you see the artist-at-work, hear directly from them about their ideas, processes, tools and have a hands-on experience. Your imagination expands, you begin to think about new possibilities and opportunities to create new things and solve new problems.
