North Omaha Summer Arts Presents: Gospel in the Park
My beloved, Pamela Jo Berry, has a big heart for her community. It’s what led her to found North Omaha Summer Arts, an annual festival that infuses different art forms into the underserved North Omaha community she grew up in and still resides in. This is the festival’s fourth year. Saturday, June 21 NOSA presents a gospel concert at Miller Park. Like all NOSA events, it’s free and open to the public. Details below. Before Pam and I became a couple, I profiled her and her passion behind the festival for The Reader. You can find that story, Matter of the Heart: Pamela Jo Berry’s Love for Her Community Brings Art Fest to North Omaha, on this blog.

In addition to the concert, there is a women’s writing workshop in progress. On Friday, August 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. there will be an Arts Crawl up and down a swath of the North 30th Street Corridor featuring works by some of Omaha’s leading artists. Venues to be announced.

Leo, nice article. I’m interested in hearing more about the women’s writing workshop in progress. Where is this happening at? Is there a page I can google? Do you need more teachers?
Thanks, Margie Lukas.

You can reach Pam Berry, the founder-director, at 402-502-4669. You might try her on Monday because she’s budy with a big gospel concert this weekend that’s part of the same North Omaha Summer Arts festival.
