As an inveterate 'cheerleader for art', Eddith is best known for directing public art projects for the Omaha Metro area. After learning the process for community projects through managing grants for the Omaha Public Schools, Eddith moved on to direct the J. Doe Project, the Lewis & Clark Icon Project for the Riverfront, 5 years of summer sculpture installations at Leahy Mall for Summer Arts Festival, Benchmarks for artist-painted MAT bus benches, and exhibits at both Fontenelle Forest and Lauritzen Gardens. Over the years, Eddith has taught art to all ages of students through Joslyn Art Museum, the Boys and Girls Clubs, and UNO's gifted student and adult continuing education programs. Eddith has developed projects using recycled materials in sculpture, painting projects that lead to a better grasp of color mixing and drawing projects that further students’ hand-eye coordination and understanding of perspective. These art projects can be applied to all ages of learners.
As a 34-year veteran of teaching, Eddith Buis holds a B.S, an M.A. and a Specialist Degree in art education. She is currently an adjunct instructor at Metropolitan Community College's Fort Omaha Campus.
