Gallery 1516

When my friend told me she was having her book event here, I immediately looked up the pictures and was blown away. The pictures doesn't do the space justice (I forgot to take more pictures).The space was open and the wood beams added warmth to the space. It didn't feel cold and cavernous.

Beautiful gallery with amazing art! They support regional artists and don't take a commission from the sale of any art. A+++++

the owner has implicit biases and is very covert in how he addresses marginalized bodies. I've been to this place for a couple events now, and the chairs never bothered me, but some reason the man found a chair and asked me to sit in it. I was confused as to why he tried , but failed, to just say he assumed the chair wouldn't support my weight. Luckily, someone noticed the interaction and acknowledged the harm he caused. I would encourage the owner to consider, as a larger man himself, the accessibility, or maybe lack there of, he offers to the audience.

This is going to be a beautiful venue to enjoy art in Omaha. I recently was introduced to the space during the YAP Art Crawl and was blown away by the beauty and comfort of the space. The location is divided into two parts. One is an onsite residence for local and traveling artists contributing to the local art scene. The other part of the building is a large open vaulted ceilinged gallery repurposed from a circa 1900 combine work-shop which will serve as the main public gallery. Mmmm such a harmonious mix of original brick walls and salvaged wood tables and pulley-barn doors...this is such a beautiful space, I'm sad that this is the first time I and many others were able to see it and enjoy it together. This is only the begining. I have heard the Omaha Opera likes the acoustics here too which really helps broaden its utility as an art venue. Excited to see what is to come in the next few months.

Fantastic new art gallery in Omaha. A place that NYC, LA or Chicago would die to have. Of course in those places it would cost millions to own & operate, so come on out Nebraskans at view the art by Nebraskan artist!Here is a little video I did of the current Larry Roots show which will give one an idea of this great space!
