COMMUNITY HUB

The interior of Culxr House is an open space and reflective of art and culture. There is also a stage, plenty of sitting space, and items for sale.

Culxr House founder Marcey Yates said, “This is a dream come true. Never before in North Omaha has there existed such an innovative, community hub that focuses on providing artists and creatives a safe space to grow their talent and obtain access to resources necessary to turn their art into economic opportunity.” Yates has been developing the model for over a year, and tailored its operations in response to the callenges of space and access. “The Culxr House exits to bridge both social and economic gaps through the cultivation of talent and artistry within the inner city.”
