In partnership with the Oklahoma Hall of Fame | Gaylord-Pickens Museum this stunning exhibition brings together a dynamic and diverse group of Oklahoma’s most talented and promising contemporary visual artists. United by a shared connection to Oklahoma, the featured artists explore themes of identity, family, nature, science, and history through a wide array of mediums—including painting, sculpture, photography, textile, and mixed media.
This exhibition celebrates not only the creative multiplicity of Oklahoma, but also the transformative role of the arts in our communities. Featuring both emerging talents and long-established voices, the artists’ works on view embody the depth and scope of our state’s cultural fabric.
The Artist Panel:
'Alternative Ways to Promote Your Work' explores inventive approaches to marketing that help artists stay authentic while reaching new audiences and strengthening their presence. Focusing on both digital and offline strategies, this panel offers insight into how artists can think beyond conventional methods to share their work more effectively. Panelists include Rachele Cromer, Vilona Michael and Jared Power. Moderated by Fernando Calvillo.
