Esprit Whispering Ridge, a senior living community, at 17555 Emmet St., Omaha, NE 68116 is creating a new venue for local emerging artists called “ArtLink”.

This show runs from January 25 through March 13, 2015. Business hours are Monday thru Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 10 am to 2 pm.

ArtLink’s goal is to bring art into the Esprit community to benefit residents, staff and visitors. “ArtLink is a way to match our residents, hungry for cultural and educational programming, and emerging local artists who are always looking for a venue to present their works.”

Esprit has a gallery area between two buildings that accommodates the hanging of art, called the Link, as our program links artists and their works with our residents.

The next show will open in April and others will be held on a regular basis throughout the year. Artists to be announced at a later date. For more visit www.espritwhisperingridge.com., or contact Jean Cramer at 402.932.7300.

Espirit, an upscale Assisted Living Facility located at 17555 Emmet Street, is eager to have local artists show their art work. Sharon Clawson advises there are two nice long walls which are well lit. One artist would probably only use one of the walls. There is space for at least 20 pieces each wall dependent on how large the pieces. They have a handyman who will hang the art for you as long as you are present to direct where to place. They would also welcome a public reception. If interested, please contact Kristine Scott at 402.932.7300.

Open Door Mission

My name is Sandy Powers and, as a fellow OAI and ANAC member, I’m inviting you to join me on the ground level of an extraordinary art opportunity. I’ve been given permission to create an art program for the residents, both men and women, of the Open Door Mission (ODM) but I humbly submit I cannot do it alone. As artists, we already know the power of expressing ourselves through art; the peace, joy, vulnerability, clarity, healing, and transformation that can come from both the process and the final piece. Imagine bringing this to our neighbors-in-need at ODM! Imagine what their art might look like. Imagine the potential for healing, even change.

If you’re interested in being part of group emails and/or a few brainstorming sessions, please email me at your earliest convenience. Combining our creative gifts will result in an amazing program.
