Education Advocates & Teachers
This exhibit is a collaborative project by the Gaylord-Pickens Museum and students from the Museum Theory & Practice course at the University of Central Oklahoma.
Beyond the lectern and the lab, the ardent advocates and educators featured in this exhibit have strived to ensure that every Oklahoman, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to reach their full potential. From the red soil of the plains to the far reaches of space, Oklahomans have long understood that knowledge is the ultimate frontier. Their respective areas of expertise are as diverse as the state itself, working in various fields of arts, humanities, engineering, scientific research, and more. Education Advocates & Teachers celebrates fourteen extraordinary individuals who transformed the landscape of learning, proving that an Oklahoma education can be a springboard to global, and even universal, impact.

Depth and Space
This exhibit brings together abstract, geometrically grounded works that challenge the traditional boundaries of fine art mediums. Artists blur the line between two-dimensional surfaces and three-dimensional relief forms. By manipulating light, shadow, and texture, each piece invites visitors to view the work from multiple angles to reveal shifting perceptual depth.
