Devon Energy and Downtown OKC, Inc. have joined in a unique partnership to feature many of the state’s finest artists through a series of rotating exhibits in a one-of-a-kind space in downtown.
Devon has contributed $50,000 to assist Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. with promotions of eight curated shows and art openings over a two-year period. Devon President John Richels said Devon is excited to have an opportunity to support the Invited Artist Gallery in this partnership.
“The gallery and the whole Underground project shows how public art can transform an ordinary space into a place that inspires imagination,” he said. “It is part of a growing number of cultural jewels that are making downtown special.”
“We recognize that arts and culture serve as important economic drivers and contribute to the vibrancy of our downtown renaissance, said Brett Hamm, president, of Downtown Oklahoma City Inc. “We appreciate Devon’s leadership, vision and support of the Underground’s Invited Artist Gallery.”
