art_work_2022: The Oklahoma Contemporary Staff Exhibition
Dec. 1, 2022 — March 20, 2023
Education Wing

Oklahoma Contemporary's employees are not required to be artists, but it’s no surprise that we attract the creative type.
art_work_2022 is comprised of work showcasing the wide variety of talent and artistic practices of Oklahoma Contemporary staff. From poetry and paintings to upcycled fashion and sculptural installations, this cross-disciplinary exhibition revolves around the theme of a “happy place.” Whether the concept is demonstrated through a location, item, or event, each work explores what gives the artists a sense of calm, perspective, joy, or peace.
Oklahoma Contemporary’s mission is to encourage artistic expression in all its forms. art_work_2022 focuses a lens on the many ways our staff apply this mission to their own creative practices. This is the first exhibition for many of these artists, and we hope this hall brings a bit of happiness for them and for you.
