What We Do

We’re beyond thrilled to announce that Common Senses Festival is back – and this year, it’s bigger, bolder, and more visionary than ever! Join us from May 10 through 25 all around Omaha, Nebraska for a festival that amplifies voices, breaks barriers, and redefines what accessibility means in the arts.

Through groundbreaking performances, cutting-edge science & technology, tailored preferred interests, and thought-provoking films & discussions, we’re building a world where every voice is heard and valued. This festival is for everyone: for those who use technology to communicate, for those who advocate, for allies, for families, and for anyone who believes in a more inclusive future. Because the arts don’t just reflect cultural change – they ignite it.
