In 1968, the Oklahoma Art Center, OKCMOA’s predecessor, purchased the 154-piece permanent collection of the Washington Gallery of Modern Art (WGMA), the first art museum in the nation’s capital dedicated to the collection of contemporary art. That decision transformed Oklahoma City’s collection of contemporary art.

On February 17, 2018, on OKCMOA’s first floor, The New Art: A Milestone Collection Fifty Years Later honors this extraordinary collection on this major anniversary, presenting longstanding Museum highlights by Ellsworth Kelly, Richard Diebenkorn, Grace Hartigan, Sam Gilliam, Robert Indiana, and Paul Reed, along with the rarely shown works by Morris Louis and Lee Bontecou. Their work, and the work of many other artists, forms the Oklahoma City Museum of Art’s outstanding collection of postwar American art from the 1950s and 1960s.

This is a re-edited video that I originally shot back in 2016 hence why some of the shots and sound aren’t as smooth. The weather and scheduling conflicts have prevented me from making a new video this week so I hope you enjoy this one! If you haven’t watched last week’s video about venues worth renting in Oklahoma City, go watch that too. If you want something new and unreleased, over at Patreon I shared the raw interviews of a new series.

Stay warm!

For this week’s video, I’ve highlighted several different places in Oklahoma City where you can host your next event. This story doesn’t include every single event venue available for rent, but it does showcase a wide variety of options and price points. Featured in this video is V2 at Vast, Plenty, the OKC Boathouses, The Paramount Room, Will Rogers Theatre, Myriad Botanical Gardens, The Farmers Market, and PhotoArt Studios. In the video, I’ve given each place about a minute to talk about themselves. Then over at Uncovering Oklahoma, there’s an article that goes into more details about what they offer.

With the proposals that come during Valentine’s Day, I thought a story about event venues would be appropriate. I got to thinking about this idea when I met up with an owner of an upcoming event venue space who reached out to me about a possible story. They, unfortunately, weren’t in the video because, at the time, they were doing some remodeling.

I’m curious to see how well this video does because it is a departure from my usual videos.

If you know someone who is getting married or hosting an event, be sure to share this video with them. Thanks to my Patrons on Patreon for their support.

When the haunted house attraction, The Sanctuary OKC, moved to their new location, they sought to expand their offerings with a restaurant, escape room games, and a live concert venue. Tino Pascuzzi and Leslie Damron talk about The Ruins Bar & Grille. Then in the second half of the video, Louie Hernandez and Christina Imboden discuss The Sanctuary Escape.

Their escape rooms are especially cool because the door you enter isn’t the door you exit. There are multiple rooms and sometimes you’ll have to backtrack to get out of another section. With the restaurant, you can eat before or after a game too.

Glitter Ball, the winter dance party and art extravaganza presented by Dunlap Codding and benefitting deadCenter Film, returned to the historic Film Row on Friday, January 26. This year’s party featured a Glam Rock theme with more music, dancing, and visual spectacle than ever before.

At Glitter Ball, deadCenter Film honored both Cacky Poarch and Melissa Scaramucci with its prestigious Festival ICON Award. Poarch and Scaramucci were at the helm of deadCenter Film Festival from 2003 -2010 and continue to play a substantial role in the success of the organization.
