Oklahoma Heart Hospital Presents “The Heart of Paseo: The Art of Heart” kickoff on February 3, 2012, an event highlighting National Wear Red Day for Women and Heart Disease Awareness and the Annual Paseo Art Association Member Juried Art Competition and Exhibition. The day-long event will begin at 10:00am, at Oklahoma Heart Hospital South Campus with the media announcement of the 2011 Heart Hero Award, information on living heart healthy and a live art demonstration by featured artist, Bert Seabourn. The event will continue that evening with a unique First Friday Gallery Walk in Paseo from 6:00-10:00pm. During the Gallery Walk participants will be able to see works of art featuring the theme color (red) and theme message of awareness. Participants will also be able to collect information and goodies about heart health, from the Oklahoma Heart Hospital, at many of the participating galleries. Mr. Seabourn will complete the painting he began in the morning at the Paseo Arts Space and the painting will then go on sale. Another element to this collaborative project is the inclusion of the OSU Fashion Merchandising Department. The icon for Women and Heart Disease is a red dress. Students within this department will submit red dress designs for another juried exhibition that will open on the First Friday Gallery Walk at a.k.a. Gallery in Paseo.
