FALL 2021

Krystle Kaye, Executive Director Back again this year is our pandemic-born, statewide OK Art Crawl, planned for Saturday, October 16th from 10am to 8pm. Artists will set up their work for public viewing on their porches, in their driveways, and in parking lots across the state. It is free to attend and you can find all of the artists’ locations on an interactive map at OKArtCrawl.org.

We are already busy planning Momentum, our exhibition for artists 30 and under, and we are excited to announce our Guest Curator for 2022 will be local curator and art appraiser, Helen Opper! The application for Emerging Curator closes on November 4th and the application for Spotlight closes on November 18th. For more information and to apply, visit MomentumOklahoma.org.

Over the last several months, we have been working with a dedicated task force of volunteers to help us reimagine Art Focus Oklahoma. Most of the content will be the same with a few new types of articles, but we are redesigning the logo and layout to give it a fresh new look. Additionally, we will have a new guest editor for the 2022 year! It’s everything you love about the publication with a few new additions—launching in Winter 2022! For the digital archive, information about writing, and to advertise with us, visit ArtFocusOklahoma.org.

To keep up with the latest news, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!

Sincerely,

Krystle Kaye Executive Director
