Patrons, Art Lovers, Christmas present shoppers, Wheelers & dealers...here's your chance to help raise money for our Community Driven art space in a show with all original works, ranging from oil paintings to pottery, starting under $100. The funds raised will be used to continue providing a comfortable work environment for OKC artists as well as building out more space, creating storage and assisting in community efforts such as Oklahoma's Foster Care Program and other local endeavors.
It will be a warm atmosphere with warm drink, specialty foods and local acoustic acts including Matt Lowery as well as affordable local art that will help raise funds to further our cause. These artists are some of OKC's finest and rarely ever have original pieces offered at these prices. Want to buy local for a loved one's X-mas gift? Here's your chance! Resident artists Phillip Danner, Joe Garcia, Tommy Poole, Kaleen Ezelle, Jerrod Smith and TIm Krause will be featuring their works. In addition we will have "Friends of The Society" participating as well.
