We are having an Art Crit Night, a free evening of open art critique hosted in partnership with the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC). Each event brings together two local artists for a curator-led discussion of their work, creating space for honest conversation, community connection, and artistic growth.

Working artists, arts professionals, collectors, or simply curious about the creative process, you are welcome here. Expect a relaxed atmosphere filled with meaningful dialogue and the chance to connect with fellow members of Oklahoma's art community.

Participating artists will share their work, receive constructive feedback from the guest curator, and engage with commentary from the audience. This event is built on a spirit of encouragement and a shared commitment to deepening critical conversation in our community.
