Like “Fashion in Detritus” and “Issues”, Dreaming is organized by EVENTgelical Productions Inc, a local Omaha not-for-profit organization.

Started by two artists, with the mission to further understanding and appreciation for all kinds of art by holding a series of events, each with a different theme, featuring the work of local and regional talent.

They are dedicated to making art events happen in the greater Omaha area. “Spreading the good news” of Omaha’s art scene and other creative endeavors through shows, educational events, performances, and networking.

Dave Nesbit and Ann Myers are both people with art backgrounds who decided to put their skills to use rather then let them go to waste. And urge many others to do the same!

They thought it would be interesting and refreshing for the Omaha art scene to create an event that was a little different from the standard gallery opening. So dipping into their backgrounds in art, music, and event coordination, they decided to go out amongst fellow lesser known area artists, designers and bands, pool their meager funds and create an event to spark some energy back into the scene.

Dave Nesbit is primarily a photographer and video editor with an enjoyment of making multi media art installations and is now experimenting with painting as well.

Ann Myers brings 11 years of event coordination experience and a desire to expand her current art and graphic design work.

Megan McGuire will be the fashion show coordinator for Dreaming. She brings years of stage and theatrical coordination experience to the event. She is looking forward to working with the designers to share their Dreams.

In addition some amazing folks have jumped in to assist with coordinating and running the show. Together, they are recycling old ideas and creating a new place and re-imagined way to share art and creativity in the Omaha area.

Questions? Thoughts?
We’d love to hear them

Dave came up with the idea of creative events and began to pound pavement, gallery to gallery to do some research.

A meeting with William at Polyester Gallery pointed us in the direction of doing our events in the style of a “Phantom Gallery”.

In short, Phantom Galleries, use unoccupied store front space to put up visual displays or hold events. Great for artists, because they get to show their work, great for the building owners, because it activates their space and gets eyes and traffic in their doors.

Google it and you’ll see it’s a fantastic movement, mostly taking place on the coasts right now.

So, more research, including more foot-to-concrete time around downtown Omaha to find space for this event and the future ones.

We have made some great contacts, including the fine folks at the Diamond on 16th, the old Diamond bar, where we held our first event Fashion in Detritus and second event ISSUES.
