There is an art gallery in Oklahoma City that is owned and operated by local artists that I have admired for years and years. It's the 50 Penn Place Art Gallery located on the second floor of the gorgeous atrium in the 50 Penn Place building. It's located across the street from Penn Square Mall and is in a great location. Years ago all the high end retail stores were located in 50 Penn Place on the two floors of the atrium and the multi story structure above was leased to businesses. Sadly most of the high end shops have either gone out of business or moved to other locations leaving many vacant spaces.
The art gallery is still there and it is a beautiful space so I was very honored to find out yesterday that I have been accepted as a guest artist to display my paintings the month of May and June! This is something I have dreamed about doing for years so I'm really thrilled for the opportunity. I was nervous about submitting examples of my work when I applied to be a guest artist but I'm glad I found the courage to do so. They have several small areas that they lease out to other artists for two months at a time so hopefully I will sell some paintings to help defray the cost. There will be an opening reception the evening of May 14th at 6pm so I hope if you live in the area that you will be able to come.
