“We have been planning to host a 50^th anniversary celebration since last year but decided to postpone until this spring to ensure everyone can safely enjoy these two beautiful and fun works of art,” said Allied Arts President/CEO Deborah McAuliffe Senner. We want to emphasize our appreciation of the community for the financial support they have provided that is vital to sustaining a vibrant and diverse cultural landscape in Oklahoma. It is important now, more than ever!”

April 8 will also mark the last weekend you can experience “GLOW,” a free, public art installation featuring two large-scale interactive works of art, “Oscillation,” by The Urban Conga and “Passage,” by Serge Maheu. Guests who visit Scissortail Park can enjoy the whimsical and immersive experience daily from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. through April 10.

“Allied Art’s light installation is a perfect example of a community organization bringing to the park a creative exhibit that engages all ages and walks of life with an artistic playful experience in a beautiful setting,” said Maureen Heffernan, CEO for Myriad Botanical Gardens and Scissortail Park. “We are so appreciative of the magic Allied Arts made possible at our Park and throughout the community as the central arts supporting organization in OKC.”

The exhibition is fully underwritten thanks to the generosity of the Inasmuch Foundation.

Additional “GLOW” sponsors include Love’s Travel Stops, Heartland, Scissortail Park and LINGO Construction Services. More information can be found at www.alliedartsokc.com and on social media @AlliedArtsOKC.
