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.
