Innovation Lab

OMG Studios Innovation Lab is an interactive and evolving music, art and literature immersion project that will function as a cultural content creator hub. Participants will create a wide array of multimedia, inspired by the Twin Cities’ rich music and art culture.

Mission Statement

To provide a creative outlet for youth for music, art and literary expression, development, and education.

OMG Studios Cultural Sustainability Promise

Our work is centered around building cultural sustainability and community, where music and art are essential to human survival and development. We are driven by love for humanity and a desire to empower, nurture, and improve the health and wellness of youth and families in under-invested communities.

Supported by MN Arts Council, City of Saint Paul, Ujamaa Place, MN Humanities Center, MN Black Collective and Minneapolis Foundation.

Registration Criteria

Registation Criteria:
This project will serve pre-teen and teenage youth living in marginalized communities in the Twin Cities (MSP) metropolitan and throughout Greater Minnesota online. These programs target children who need after-school activities and compensate for the lack of music and art education in many public schools. This project also addresses the arts’ succession crisis, specifically the deficit of mastery knowledge that should be passed down from generation-to-generation.
