Art Now is the contemporary art exhibition for Oklahoma, showcasing work by the state’s top artists. Oklahoma Contemporary’s premier fundraising event, Art Now has impressed audiences for more than two decades.

At the gala event, guests will have the opportunity to interact with Oklahoma’s most respected artists and purchase their newest works. Far from a typical fundraising event, Art Now will feature live music by Oklahoma recording artists, food by celebrated local restaurants and an open bar. This is a 21 and over event. Attire: Shades of White.
