Aired on Thursday, July 1st.

On this edition of our program, we learn about the 2021 Art 365 program from the nonprofit Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC). The artists whose work appears in this very competitive year-long program were chosen by guest curator, Grace Deveney, the associate curator of Prospect.5 in New Orleans. She's our guest today, along with Alexa Goetzinger, the associate director of OVAC. The artists selected for this year's OVAC 365 exhibit are Ginnie Baer (Edmond), Crystal Z. Campbell (Oklahoma City), Naima Lowe (Tulsa), Mirella Martinez (Stillwater), and collaborators Maggie Boyett (Oklahoma City) and Marwin Begaye (Norman). More info on the new Art 365 exhibit at Living Arts of Tulsa, which opens tomorrow (Friday the 2nd) and runs till early August, is posted here.
