Join us for Mirella Martinez’s Art 365 Artist Discussion, on Thursday, September 2nd, 5:30-6:30pm, at ARTSPACE at Untitled. Masks are required to attend this event.

During this artist talk, attendees are invited to see a closer view of Mirella Martinez’s Art 365 project, "Payne". Her documentary photography projects center around topics of multiculturalism, identity, and mental health as a female identifying person of color in today's world. Using the photographs on display as a vehicle for the topics surrounding the discussion, Martinez will describe how she found and uses her voice within her artistic practice.

Every three years, the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC) hosts the highly competitive program, Art 365, in which five Oklahoma-based creative proposals are selected to complete innovative artwork in consultation with a nationally recognized curator. In addition to the culminating exhibitions in Tulsa and OKC, each artist will lead a free workshop or panel discussion that aligns with the themes of their project. These events aim to teach new skills while also exploring the content and processes the artists use in their work, providing the community a deeper connection to the artwork in the exhibition and the Art 365 program.

For special accommodations to attend or participate in Art 365 programming, contact Alexa Goetzinger at (405)879-2400 Ex. 3. For more information about this OVAC program, visit Art365.org.
