Momentum OKC: Art Doesn’t Stand Still, the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s (OVAC) dynamic event was held March 6th & 7th, 2009 in a building that formerly housed a mail distribution center at 320 SW 5th St in downtown Oklahoma City. The exhibition gives audiences an opportunity to view, purchase and experience artwork by Oklahoma visual artists ages 30 and under amidst the talents of local musicians, performers, poets and more.
Curators for the exhibition were Heather Ahtone, a writer, curator and artist, and Romy Owens, photographer. They selected the art, film and performances for the exhibit as well as the artists who received the more than $2,000 in awards.
A new addition to Momentum this year was the Momentum Spotlight program, which awarded three artists with $1,500 each and three months of guidance with the curators to create new installations or bodies of work for the exhibition. This year, the selected Spotlight artists are Grace Grothaus of Tulsa, Darryl Hillard of Stillwater and Brooke Madden of Norman.
