The Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center continues to play a vital role in developing OKC’s visual art landscape through accessible and affordable arts programming and education. They offer studio school classes and workshops as well as hands-on activities and early childhood studio classes. Blazing their own path, the Individual Artists of Oklahoma (IAO) gallery is positioned in the heart of Film Row in the Arts District. IAO shifts focus to experimental pioneers of the creative community. Creating a space and a voice for those who color-outside-the-lines is the pulse of IAO, and it comes through in their exhibitions. The Chickasaw Nation boasts Exhibit C in the heart of Bricktown. This gallery and retail space exhibits and sells work by Native American artists and artisans. Exhibit C provides access to authentic elements of expression by Native American artists from across the state. Be sure to check out “The Council” a mural by Eric Tippconnic of the Comanche Nation on the side of their space in the old Candy Factory building. In the historic Deep Deuce district, you can find ARTSPACE at Untitled. With a passion for engaging with their community in a collaborative, creative experience, visitors discover unique ways to delve into the arts. Whether through jazz sessions, community gatherings, workshops or their one-of-a-kind exhibitions, ARTSPACE is always looking for new ways to connect the creative community with the greater community in which it dwells.
