BFF Omaha

BFF Omaha is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building community through arts engagement. Founded in 2012, we champion local artists, connect neighborhoods, and transform public spaces through creative programming. Our flagship event, First Friday in Benson, showcases a vibrant mix of exhibitions, performances, markets, and installations — all free and open to the public. Beyond First Fridays, BFF offers year-round programs supporting artists at every stage, including gallery exhibitions, public art initiatives, educational workshops, and youth engagement opportunities. We believe that art is for everyone — and that creativity is a powerful force for positive change. Our work is made possible by the incredible network of artists, volunteers, partners, and supporters who help bring creativity to the forefront of Omaha’s culture.
