Our Story
A Nomadic Arts Incubator, Odessa proudly works outside of the confines of galleries, museums, & traditional art spaces - Challenging assumptions of how contemporary art is made and viewed, we strive to make the creative experience more fun & accessible to audiences worldwide while supporting artists in an authentic and sustainable way! With 120+ acres of artist owned and operated land, the core of our programming is to provide expansive exhibition spaces, mountain studios, seasonal residencies, and brand new opportunities for contemporary artists here in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
Nomadic
Since our founding in 2016, Odessa is ever changing, growing & evolving! With a catalogue of boundary pushing public exhibitions, opportunities for critical discourse, and community enrichment initiatives, our mission has always been about developing real relationships with artists and seeing their ideas come to life. Being open to change means we can be brave and audacious in our projects - reaching new audiences and experiencing art in new ways!
Our Philosophy
We love working with artists because we are artists ourselves. And it’s because of this that we understand that there is so much more to the creative process than simply making art and sharing it online. It’s about process, failure, play, frustration, joy and working with others - We work right alongside artists every step of the way to collaboratively see their big ideas come to life.
