about

Ang R. Bennett (b. 1990, Little Rock, AR) is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, certified doula, and queer activist. Bennett holds a BA in art history from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Bennett explores identity through personal narrative and inherited history. 

In March 2026, Bennett curated BLACK but not the ART: Breaking the Frame, an exhibition bringing together Black artists from across Nebraska whose work challenges narrow definitions of Black creativity and shapes how the region's art histories are formed and remembered.

Bennett has exhibited locally, regionally, and internationally, including at AfroFest Taipei. Notably, Bennett’s work was featured in the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, the first LGBTQ2IA+ center within the National Park System, where it was displayed during the center's first year of operation. 

Bennett is deeply embedded in the Omaha arts community, serving in leadership roles across several organizations, including BFF Omaha, Amplify Arts, Opera Omaha, and Voices in Alliance, Omaha's first and only LGBTQ2IA+ theatre company. Bennett is the immediate past Visual Arts Chair of the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards.
