Art 365

Art 365 is a new exhibition created by the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition to give Oklahoma artists an opportunity to create innovative artwork in collaboration with a national curator. The selected six artists each received a $10,000 honorarium. The following artists were selected to participate in the Art 365 exhibition, which opened in March 2008 at Untitled [ArtSpace] in Oklahoma City.
