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 learning to the metro and into schools across the state.
  • We support life-long learning with classes, workshops, and camps in the Tenaska Center for Arts Engagement (opening 2026).
