MaMO Gallery
MaMO Gallery (pronounced "May-MOH") is a 42' semi-trailer-turned-gallery that travels throughout Omaha and Lincoln, parking and partnering with various communities, organizations, and events. The MaMO operates March-December and hosts interdisciplinary programming at the hands of BFF's MaMO team and representatives from each partnering community or location.

ALL ABOARD!
Thanks to Douglas County Visitor Improvement Fund Grant Award, BFF has created a mobile gallery that travels to different neighborhoods throughout the year, working with specific community members in each area to act as guest curators. The MaMO (pronounced "May-MOH") will not only host art exhibitions, but also community events such as live music, workshops, & other events. The gallery would not be possible without the generous donation of our 42' semi trailer from Select Van & Storage ! |
