The Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s annual Momentum exhibition features Oklahoma artists aged 30 and under, working in a variety of media. The exhibition presents a diversified look at the young artistic talent in Oklahoma.
The Event
This year we showcased 62 emerging visual artists using a wide range of media including, painting, printmaking, sculpture, video, and much more!
Join us again in March 2023!

Get Involved
Momentum offers emerging artists a platform to create, display, and sell their artwork in a professional exhibition. Through this experience, past artists have made connections to new audiences and propelled their artistic careers. The generous support of our sponsors allows us to continue this important work.
