viewers, the artists hope that things like ice cream, Barbie and G.I. Joe have been around long enough to connect with most of the viewers. The Art 365 experience was interesting to the artists. The stipend helped pay the rent and the cost of the Ms. Pac Man machine, but the curatorial oversight and time frame were sometimes a challenge. “We normally get notification of our shows at least a couple of months ahead of time and normally don’t get started until the month before the show,” states Phillips. “With Art 365, we were closely monitored by the curator and (OVAC). They were making sure we were getting things done. But it was still difficult to work so far ahead of schedule for us.” By the time of publication of this article, the Art 365 exhibit will have completed its run at the Untitled [ArtSpace] in Oklahoma City. The exhibition can be viewed in Tulsa during May and June with portions of the exhibition running concurrently at the Alexandre Hogue Gallery at the University of Tulsa and the Liggett Studio at 314 S Kenosha Avenue. The schedule is as follows: Alexandre Hogue Gallery: May 29-June 27, 2008 and Liggett Studio: May 19-June 14, 2008. On May 29 there will be an opening reception at both venues from 5-7 p.m. Also on May 29 at 7 p.m., the Circle Cinema at 10 S. Lewis Avenue will be screening a documentary of the Art 365 project. Following the Tulsa exhibition, the show will travel to Legion Arts at CSPS in Cedar Rapids, Iowa October 15-November 23, 2008 and beginning in September 2009, each artist will have a solo show at DiverseWorks in Houston, Texas. This will be the first time an OVAC exhibit has traveled outside the state of Oklahoma. The Art 365 project is funded in part by the Oklahoma Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Oklahoma Arts Council, Allied Arts, Kirkpatrick Foundation, and Jean Ann Fausser.
