Today’s CityCard Spotlight is on the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC) as they gear up for their annual action-packed event, Momentum: Art Doesn’t Stand Still.  This year’s event will be held on March 5th and 6th, 2010 at the Goodwill Warehouse in downtown Oklahoma City.  Momentum is an art show and sale like no other.  Highlighting Oklahoma artists ages 30 and younger, the event is packed with compelling visual art, new film and video, animated performances and live music.

Artwork for Momentum was selected from submissions by more than 100 artists.  Oklahoma artists Amber Farnell, Geoffrey Hicks and Delvie McPherson were chosen to receive $1,750 Momentum Spotlight commissions and will exhibit these projects for the first time at the event.  In addition to viewing outstanding works of art, patrons will take in the tunes of local bands, including Jonbear Fourtet, New Plains, An Old Timepiece, The Mean Spirits, Ghosts and DJ Kelly Trance, and hear Spoken Word from artist Lauren Zuniga.

Use your OKCityCard to get 2-for-1 tickets to Momentum!  They are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and are available at Blue 7, Full Circle Bookstore, Velvet Monkey Salons, Guestroom Records (Norman & OKC), Dwelling Spaces (Tulsa), or right_here.
