OVAC ART CRIT NIGHT: Call for artists

Oklahoma visual artists are invited to submit an application to be considered to participate in the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition's next Art Crit Night event. Our next event will take place at Oklahoma Contemporary located in Oklahoma City on August 13, 2025. Participating artists will have the opportunity to present their work, receive feedback, and connect with the community. Participation in Art Crit Night is free and selected artists receive a $100 honorarium.
 

MORE ABOUT THE EVENT:

Our goal is to support and strengthen the work of every artist that participates, as well as to promote critical dialogue among the community members that attend. All participants must be open to the critique process, as that is the foundation of these events. The process will include presenting your work, receiving feedback from the curator/facilitator framed in a spirit of positivity and desire to help you progress in your practice, and receiving comments from the audience as these events will be open to the art community in an effort to increase critical dialogue.

The artists selected for Art Crit Night will share their work in person at Oklahoma Contemporary. We will broadcast images or videos of the work via a projector for the audience to see. Quality documentation is important and detail shots can help showcase every aspect of the work. We may also be able to accommodate smaller physical artworks as well. Performance pieces must be shared via video documentation. Artists can also share their website or other materials (i.e. residency application, artist statement) if they want the critique to focus on those materials rather than the body of work.
