In celebration of the revitalized District, the Plaza District Association holds the Plaza District Festival each fall. The festival highlights a wide array of Oklahoma’s own performing artists, visual artists, live musicians and children's activities. The festival is open to the public and draws audiences from across Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas, and offers the surrounding neighborhoods an arts festival right in the heart of their community. Artist booths line NW 16th Street in a festive display of Oklahoma creativity.

The Oklahoma Mural Syndicate is pleased to announce the lineup of artists participating in the fourth-annual Plaza Walls Mural Expo presented by Monster Energy on September 28. This year’s event will feature 26 artists ranging from talented locals to internationally-recognized stars.
Oklahoma City’s premier mural exhibition returns for its fourth year during the 21st annual Plaza District Festival. In addition to the usual 5,700 square-foot alleyway and fence boundary, this year’s expo will expand to Oak & Ore’s east-facing wall, adding another 1,500 square-feet of mural canvas. Along with the mural expo, the Plaza Walls Gallery will host an art exhibition featuring original art from participating muralists.
Kris Kanaly, president of the Oklahoma Mural Syndicate, said the artists participating in this iteration of the expo represent incredible international talent.
“This year’s lineup is bananas! We’re so excited to host rock star talent from near and far,” Kanaly said. “Partnering up with Monster Energy has allowed us to book some of our favorite artists from all over like the Few & Far Women of L.A., whose mission is to empower women through street art and skateboarding.
Also, with artists like Kiptoe, Frenemy, Jeremy Nichols, Wiley, Ackzilla, VagabondDom, Skilz and Mariell Guzman, we’re able to celebrate and mix internationally recognized talent with our amazing local artists.”

Print as Object
Print as Object is a group exhibition of installation, sculptural and mixed media art work pushing the traditional use of printmaking mediums. The show features the work of 17 international artists from across the US and the world. These artists use printmaking as a starting point and push the print beyond the traditional editioned print on paper to create books, sculptures, installations and experiences exploring a range of subjects including memory, identity and environment.

Virginia Sitzes is co-hosting BEST PAIRED WITH SUNSHINE at the Penn Square Madewell!

Summer skies are calling and we’re taking the hint. Airy dresses, easy tops, plus tons of brand-new blue and white denim, of course. Stop by for sips and snacks while you scope it all out. Oh, and did we mention you get 20% off purchases of $125 or more?

Our Steamroller Festival is our largest community event of the year, bringing hundreds of people from all over to Artspace at Untitled. This one day festival is rooted in the printing of large-scale woodblocks carved by local Oklahoma artists. We bring in a 5 ton steamroller and print pre-carved blocks throughout the day on Tyvek paper. Printing will also take place inside in our in-house printmaking studio as well. This event is open to all artists. You do not have to be a member of our studio to participate.

You won’t want to miss the live music, artist vendors and food trucks at this family friendly event! All ages are welcome with a kids tent full of activities for younger attendees. It is sure to be a fun, art-filled day as our community supports our working and exhibiting Oklahoma artists!

Join us on February 23rd for an all-day workshop, 10 AM - 4PM with Press Member, Virginia Sitzes! In this workshop, participants will learn a process called "waterless lithography." This process is more intense than paper lithography but not as difficult as traditional stone lithography. Participants will draw onto an aluminum plate, rather than a stone, using water-based materials. While stone lithography is a time-intensive process that takes multiple days, during this workshop participants will learn a much quicker version of this type of printing, while also creating an original edition of their very own art! This is an intermediate printmaking class.

The Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s Momentum annually features Oklahoma artists ages 30 years and younger, working in all media including 2D and 3D art, film, installations, performance and more. The exhibition presents a diversified look at young artistic talent in Oklahoma.

In partnership with Factory Obscura, we are hosting Momentum 2019 at The Womb, March 22-23!

During this workshop participants will create multicolored images by putting a twist on traditional printmaking methods! Students will substitute printmaking ink for watercolor palettes mixed with transparent base. This process allows for a free-flowing playful environment which is great for beginners and experienced printers alike. If you've ever been interested in the process of screen printing but haven't had the time or materials to go for it, this workshop is for you.

All tools and materials are provided. Participants are also welcome to bring any fabric that they would like to print such as t-shirts, aprons, pillowcases, or tote bags. Attendees will leave with a basic knowledge of screen printing that can be recreated at home, and several of their own printed designs.

Press member Virginia Sitzes is well-versed in the art of screen printing and makes all kinds of cool clothes with her unique designs! Learn the basics from creating your own design to burning a screen to produce t-shirts in the Artspace studio. Please bring your own t-shirts to print on, Artspace will provide paper for printing in addition to all of your other supplies such as ink and screens.
