This year’s CultureFest will be held from noon-2 p.m. on Thursday, April 4, in the Truhlsen Events Center in the Sorrell Center.
The annual event has continuously celebrated UNMC and the Omaha community’s rich diversity. This free event is open to all UNMC employees and students. The event includes exhibits, activities and food.
CultureFest 2019, “Culture in Art,” will explore how art is heavily influenced by culture. The event will offer numerous opportunities to experience art firsthand, including activities from JDiane Creations, That Pottery Place, and The Union for Contemporary Art. There also will be informational booths featuring UNMC employees and groups. Local restaurants will offer food samples. This year, food trucks also will be available on 42nd and Emile streets with samples and $5 meal deals.
Art from the Joslyn Art Museum and the Jewish Federation of Omaha, “The Humans of Tel Aviv,” will be on display. There will be a special presentation by Erica Cole, founder of No Limbits, which creates affordable, custom 3D-printed prosthetic covers, as well as many other free activities.
