About the Exhibition
During Norman Music Festival 2025, Uncanny Art House proudly served as the official VIP headquarters from April 24–26 in the heart of Downtown Norman. Uncanny transformed its space into a one-of-a-kind lounge and immersive exhibit exclusively for VIP passholders.
Throughout the three-day festival, VIP guests were welcomed into a curated experience that honored Norman’s rich musical legacy while offering a space to relax, recharge, and connect. The main gallery featured a special historical exhibition celebrating the evolution of Norman Music Festival. It featured archival posters, festival memorabilia, and rare photographs documenting years of performances. Alongside this, music photography from the metro’s prominent concert photographers filled the space highlighting the skill it takes to capture a performance’s peak moments. Regional music videos played throughout the weekend, bridging the multitude of skills and collaborations that occur in Oklahoma’s music scene through visuals and sound by bringing together creativity, comfort, and community under one roof.
