The Event
The Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s
Momentum annually features Oklahoma artists ages 30 years and younger, working in diverse media. The exhibition presents a diversified look at young artistic talent in Oklahoma.
In light of COVID-19, The Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition along with our partner and venue, Dead People's Stuff, made the decision to change the format of Momentum 2020. This event changed to SLOWMENTUM 2020 and was intended to function as a regular exhibition instead of a 3-day event. The health and wellness of the community are of the utmost importance and we this shift in programming was necessary to protect the public.
​
SLOWMENTUM will remain closed to the public, and the exhibition will end on May 8th. Artwork will still be available for purchase until 5pm on Friday, May 8th.
We hope we can see you next year at Momentum 2021! Check back for more information in Fall 2020.
