SUMMER 2020

We hope you will join us on July 25th for our Annual Members’ Meeting to help us plan our next year and provide feedback. Though this year’s meeting will be hosted on Zoom, it will still be filled with updates from the last year, a fun interactive game, the Golden Doughnut Award, breakout groups, and more. For more information and to register, visit ovac-ok.org/annual-members-meeting.

Last month, the three Spotlight projects from Momentum traveled to Modella Art Gallery in Stillwater and will remain on view until July 18th. Though these projects couldn’t be experienced in-person in March, we hope you will take the opportunity to see them at our partner location. For more information, visit momentumoklahoma.org.

Upcoming in August, the eight Focus projects from Concept will also travel to a partner location for a second showing. The show opens at Harvester Arts in Wichita, KS on September 4th and runs through October 16th. For more information, visit concept-ok.org. Returning this fall, our bi-annual traveling exhibition 24 Works on Paper opens on August 20th at the SWOSU Art Gallery in Weatherford and remains on view through September 25th. From there, the show will travel to nine additional locations around the state for the next 18 months. Find a location nearest you at 24works.org.

Finally, we are thrilled to announce this year’s Oklahoma Visual Arts Fellowship and Student Awards of Excellence recipients: Suzanne Thomas (OKC), Sarah Ahmad (Tulsa), Janae Grass (Tulsa), and Julianne Clark (Tulsa). To learn more about their work, check out the article in this issue on page 18.

Sincerely,

Krystle Brewer, Executive Director
