Michael Phipps Gallery
Contents
In 2022, Omaha Public Library celebrated 25 years of art exhibits in the Michael Phipps Gallery. Over the course of that time, the gallery served as a tribute to the life and work of Phipps and his many contributions to Omaha Public Library and the community. It also represented Omaha Public Library’s commitment to connecting the community to local art and artists.
The Michael Phipps Gallery featured its final exhibition, "Bear Witness," in July-August 2022, prior to the closure of W. Dale Clark Main Library.
