Second Saturday | Community
Saturday, Nov. 14 | 12-4 p.m.
Timed tickets required to attend this event. Reservations open Oct. 31.
You belong here! November's Second Saturday will celebrate our community and the connections we share. Through collaborative movement lead by RACE Dance Collective, art-making activities and storytelling by Oklahoma Contemporary instructor Erica Tschida, visitors will explore what makes us a community. Visitors can also add their own unique words, drawings or designs to a collaborative inflatable installation facilitated by local artist Katelynn Noel Knick. When completed, the inflatable installation will be on display in the art center's Learning Gallery for all visitors to enjoy.
You can even become part of our ceramics community! Visitors can watch outdoor, traditional Raku-style firing in a Studio School workshop – or, for a small fee, join in on the fun by glazing a piece to fire and take home!
We encourage visitors and families to bring a blanket, wear your masks and enjoy the performances on our North Lawn and throughout the arts campus. Make sure to come hungry because Café Contemporary will offer tasty seasonal treats, drinks and boxed lunches.
Please note, safety and health procedures will be in place to ensure a safe and fun event for everyone involved. Event is weather permitting. Read more about our COVID protocols here.
