A pop-up in 2009
The first Omega Mart was a small do-it-yourself pop-up in 2009. In 2012 a larger temporary version ran in Santa Fe from 8 July to 20 September, built with the help of about 1,000 students.
A permanent home
The permanent Omega Mart was planned to open at AREA15 in 2020. Delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, it opened on 18 February 2021 as AREA15’s anchor.
Many hands
More than 300 artists and designers worked on the 52,000-square-foot installation, from the products on its shelves to the spaces hidden behind them.
