A Place for all creatives.

A community for creative professionals to connect, grow, and celebrate one another.

bringing creatives back together

With AIGA Nebraska no longer active, Omaha never lost its creative community; it simply lost a place to gather. Instead of rebuilding AIGA 2.0, we asked a different question: what does our creative community need today?

In a highly isolated world, we believe creatives deserve a community with depth: where professionals can build lasting relationships, challenge one another, celebrate great work, and grow alongside people who truly understand the work we do.

That’s why United Creative Professionals was formed.

Creative Cohorts

Cultivate creative community

Creative Cohorts are the heart of a United Creative Professionals membership. Rather than one-size-fits-all networking, every member is thoughtfully placed into a small group of peers who share a similar career stage, discipline, or professional experience.

A designer fresh out of college has different questions than a creative director with twenty years of experience. A long-time freelancer faces different challenges than someone leading an in-house team. By surrounding yourself with people navigating similar milestones, you’ll find more relevant conversations, honest feedback, practical advice, and relationships that continue long after meetings end.

HOW CREATIVE COHORTS WORK
