This exhibit features 10 Members of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame who helped establish Oklahoma's museums during the twentieth century. Though these patrons come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, they share connections and their stories reveal similarities.
Drawn from several cultural institutions, these stories reveal many contributions made by these patrons-contributions that defined Oklahoma's early cultural community and continue to have an impact today.
The exhibit highlights artists who cultivated successful visual arts careers while helping establish arts institutions that continue to support artists today. Also featured are collectors, whose donations of precious art and artifacts served as the founding collections for museums. Finally, the exhibit explores the impact of philanthropists, many connected to the oil and gas industry, on Oklahoma's early cultural institutions.

Across Spaces
This exhibition explores the profound significance of the spaces that exist between moments, places, identities, and transitions. These in-between spaces, often elusive and difficult to define are rich with potential. Featuring the art of Irmgard Geul & Farooq Karim, Across Spaces invites viewers to explore the energy and intention that thrive in these spaces of transition.
Impression
Impression, by Marissa Raglin, explores a mother’s complex role and celebrates women. Raglin creates ethereal, whimsical collages compiled from images "rescued from thrift stores, half-priced book stores, and estate sales". Vividly pigmented artwork contrasts with blank spaces, creating room for conversation. Her pieces evoke feelings of maternal love, as well as questions about the duality of motherhood as both personal and communal.
