  • BioDiscovery Lab: Bio-Ink

    Kiewit Luminarium 345 Riverfront Dr, Omaha, NE

    Get ready to be a scientist AND an artist! In this workshop, you’ll meet a special soil bacteria called Streptomyces that makes a super cool color-changing pigment. Your mission? Use water and a set of tools to figure out how to pull the color out of the bacteria’s jelly-like home. Once you’ve cracked the code, the real fun begins! You’ll mix and experiment in test tubes to see the color shift and change right before your eyes. Then you’ll use your very own “bacteria ink” to paint a one-of-a-kind masterpiece to take home.

  • Night Light: Groove After Dark

    Kiewit Luminarium 345 Riverfront Dr, Omaha, NE

    In his book Moving to Higher Ground, composer Wynton Marsalis writes “Jazz shows us how to find a groove with other people, how to hold on to it, and how to develop it.” During this 21+ adults-only Night Light, we’ll explore the many ways we can take inspiration from the freedom and collaboration of jazz. Beyond music, we’ll consider how the principles of improvisation can shape how we build community and show up in our relationships and daily lives.
