Events!
We hold one members' OKWA Artist Show annually in the Fall that features the scope and breadth or our Artists’ work. Sometimes throughout the year we hold another invitational exhibition. The shows are a wonderful way to explore the scope and talent of our membership, particularly at our openings where you can meet and talk with us.
We also hold monthly Artists Talks which are are open to the public and informative way to get to dig deep into the featured artist's work.
Our most recent talk was in February at the Grad Club: Collective Sessions. Talks for this year will resume in September
