Omaha Mobile Stage is a placemaking project aimed at reviving social and creative activity in Omaha in the post-pandemic period.  

As the pandemic has dragged on, cities have seen a collapse in the cultural and commercial activities that make urban life exciting. The pandemic has created a vacuum in cultural districts and severely impacted employment in the live entertainment industries, which have retreated online. While physical distancing has saved lives, social isolation and loneliness have emerged as serious public health concerns.

Now that a vaccine begins to circulate, the creative and public realms have a unique opportunity to work together to breathe life back into cities. In response to our times, Omaha Mobile Stage is a prototype for a new model of outdoor venue—providing a fun and flexible, but safe and serene, place for Omahans re-engage with each other, reactivate public spaces, and reanimate social, creative and economic life in the city.  

As we emerge from the pandemic, parks and schools are positioned as resources for improving public health. As traditional institutions, parks and schools are already embedded in communities and are anchors in the physical setting. They already provide accessible open and green spaces, which are an essential component for combating isolation during a public health crisis.
