The Kali Baker Studio

Studio 24 Residents will reside and work in the Kali Baker Studio. The space is dedicated to the legacy of Kali Baker (September 30, 1976 – October 2, 2020), a founding member of The Union for Contemporary Art’s board of directors and a steadfast advocate for social justice in our community.

About the Studio

The Kali Baker Studio is a 1,000 sq. ft. live/work studio located in The Union’s main facility in the heart of North Omaha on the iconic corner of North 24th and Lake Streets.

The studio was designed to provide our artists in residence with a space that’s both functional and beautiful – somewhere they can both work and rest.
