The Union for Contemporary Art is happy to provide an array of youth engagement programs that offer diverse art-making experiences for young people and families in North Omaha and the Greater Metro Area.
Established to provide high-quality and culturally relevant opportunities, our youth programs explore a wide range of creative fields, including visual arts, culinary arts, urban agriculture, and socially engaged art practices. Through these experiences, we empower the next generation of artists and leaders with opportunities that reflect and serve the very people they were created for.
