The Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s (OVAC) VisionMakers exhibition spotlights excellence by Oklahoma artists working in three dimensional and high craft media, such as glass, metal, ceramics, wood or fiber. The 2009 exhibition will be held March 28-April 30, 2009 at Six11 Creative in downtown Oklahoma City. The gallery is open Thursday-Saturday, noon-6pm.
Of the 316 pieces of artwork submitted for inclusion in the exhibition, 37 were selected by the curator to represent the finest in Oklahoma’s high craft artwork. A variety of styles and media are represented, from the delicate felted wool in a piece by Stephanie Grubbs to the intricate wood carving by Ron Fleming.
The guest curator for VisionMakers 2009 is Judith Schwartz, Ph.D, Head of the Sculpture: Craft Media Area at New York University. She is a critic, curator and author of national and international articles on contemporary craft issues. She is President of the newly established Museum of Ceramic Art to be located in Long Island City. Schwartz received her Ph.D from NYU. Schwartz selected the work to be included in the exhibition, and will also select the works to receive the $6,500 in artist awards.
For an insight into the creative process of the artists, several VisionMakers award winners will give talks on April 30, from 6-7pm. All events are free and open to the public.
