We do this through
- Presentation events- where new and established artists can display/show/present their works
- Educational activities- where artists can learn ways to improve their craft and artistic opportunities/resources
- Community Integration/networking- outreach activities to the Omaha area community to raise awareness and appreciation of local talent. Communicate resources where artists and artistic venues can network and develop
They thought it would be interesting and refreshing for the Omaha art scene to create an event that was a little different from the standard gallery opening. So dipping into their backgrounds in art, music, and event coordination, they decided to go out amongst fellow lesser known area artists, designers and bands, pool their meager funds and create an organization to spark some new energy back into the scene.
Heading into their second year they are expanding their offerings to include spoken word events, more independent film events, and education activities along with continuing their original mission of raising awareness and understanding of all types of art.

What's with the "EVENTgelical" name?
EVENTgelical is a play on the word evangelical. We aren't evangelizing a religion, we are “Spreading the good news” of Omaha Area's artists, art scene, and other creative endeavors through shows, performances, networking, and educational opportunities.
