learn & engage

O-pa takes the arts beyond the stage. Since 2005, we’ve served more than one million people with arts education and community engagement initiatives.

We partner with organizations throughout Omaha to offer free community events.
We bring arts-based school programs to the metro and across the state.
We support lifelong learning with classes, workshops, and camps for all ages, abilities, and experience levels (soon to be housed in the Tenaska Center for Arts Engagement opening in Spring 2026).
