Omaha Performing Arts has officially opened the $108 million Tenaska Center for Arts Engagement, the final piece of its downtown campus and a "world-class" space for arts education.

The Tenaska Center for Arts Engagement is located just east of the Holland Center. "Chameleon" paint on the building's exterior "fins" changes color depending on sunlight, according to architect Stephen Chu.Â
"Untitled (Triple Sphere)" by Eva LeWitt hangs in the Tenaska Center for Arts Engagement's atrium. The sculpture, which is composed of silicone and wooden beads, is a focal piece visitors see as they walk upstairs to the center's classroom and rehearsal spaces.Â
