A celebration of Oklahoma Contemporary's mission and the people that make it possible.

Oklahoma Contemporary traditionally hosts Founders Day each year on March 10 to recognize the volunteers, artists and educators who make our mission a reality. This date commemorates the first event held at Oklahoma Contemporary’s new downtown location as well as the birthday of Eleanor Kirkpatrick, our founder and chairman Christian Keesee’s grandmother and namesake of our main gallery.

This year’s Founders Day celebration will be held on Friday, March 22. Reserve your free ticket or donate in honor of this year's award recipients by clicking on the links below.
