So many of my closest friends were at this event and lost everything. All of it. Art that took months to create, displays, equipment… all gone in moments. Had I not accidentally missed the deadline, I might have been there too. This hits really really close to home for me.

If you are not familiar, a storm popped up quickly and intensely during the Omaha Art Fair, and completely destroyed the tents of many artists, along with their artwork. It was utterly devastating for many. The financial ramifications are beyond huge. Affected artists are not only losing those pieces and the thousands of dollars in display equipment, but for many the ability to continue selling during the busiest part of the art sales season. Insurance often only covers a fraction of the financial turmoil.

The timing of this almost couldn’t have been worse. Please consider donating whatever you can to help these amazing creative artists get back on their feet.

Thank you!! ❤️
