As I’ve written before, one of my favorite parts of Big Omaha is the artists who contribute their time and talents to help us bring a unique and memorable experience to our attendees. At this year’s event, we had four artists or artist groups with installations ranging from a game utilizing QR codes codes to projector art that symbolized the phases of the moon.
The latter of those installations, This Strange Phase, was the work of three artists behind a collective called Peerless: Daphne Eck, Caleb Coppock and Bethany Kalk. This month, those three have set up a gallery and work site in one of the vacant storefronts in Omaha’s Midtown Crossing.

Although we missed the opportunity to tell you about the reception on Saturday, the gallery, currently featuring the work of Nebraska native Chad Rutter, will be open through August 27. On July 16, the Rutter exhibition will close. On July 27, an exhibition by Markus Merkle will open.
