One Centennial item that many seem to have missed out on is Saturday's opening of the State Art Collection Gallery in the west wing of the State Capitol. It is a beautifully done gallery, the 1st "permanent" home for the Oklahoma State Art Collection.

My blog post is here: Doug Dawgz Blog: Centennial Opening: State Arts Collection (http://dougdawg.blogspot.com/2007/11/centennial-opening-state-arts.html) but the small versions of most of the pics in the article are below. Although the Oklahoman didn't carry much press about it (that I saw), the Tulsa World has a nice article here: Tulsa World: Treasure trove (http://www.tulsaworld.com/entertainment/article.aspx?articleID=071117_8_H2_spanc64042)

That looks like some great art and should be just another addition to our growing arts offering here in OKC.
