the lively show artist list

We want to thank our OKC creative community for its response to our call for entry for The Lively Show. With so many amazing works submitted, it was hard to cull down the selections. Jurors Ebony Iman Dallas, Marissa Raglin, and Josh Vaughn spent hours considering the artwork, and have selected works that create a strong, vibrant exhibition. The jurying was competitive with more than 100 works to be juried. 

Our guest juror, Ebony Iman Dallas shared, “Seeing all of the amazing works created by artists in OUR CITY makes me so proud! With so many phenomenal submissions this was a difficult decision indeed and I hope to see more opportunities like this in the future for artists to shine. Cheers!”
