The annual 12×12 Art Fundraiser fuses 175 of Oklahoma’s finest artists with local food and live entertainment to create a memorable one-night-only art event.

The Event
For 12×12, each artist creates a work that conforms to the dimensions of 12x12”, or 12x12x12” for 3D artwork. Event attendees can bid for pieces they want to purchase in an online auction. All bids begin at $200. Attendees afraid of losing a piece in the auction may “Buy It Now” to trump the auction. Attendees may also bid on silent auction packages to win prizes from local businesses!
Join us again in September 2023!
Location and date TBD
Enjoy live entertainment, local food and drink, and shop the auction for unique pieces made by local artists. Ticket sales* and donations go toward OVAC’s mission to grow and develop Oklahoma's visual arts community through education, promotion, connection, and funding.
*Ticket prices are $45 in advance online and $50 at the door.
Children 16 and under get in FREE!
The Artists
12×12 artists are selected by a volunteer committee in the early summer. Artists who sell in the previous year are automatically invited back. The number of new artist invitations is determined by how many artists did and did not sell in the previous year. In 2015, we were very proud to increase the number of artists served from 150 to 175, which opened up more new invitations.
