IAO is marking the spot with auction
Works by more than 45 emerging and established artists will be on display as Individual Artists of Oklahoma hosts its 26th Annual Red Dot art auction from 7 to 11 p.m. Nov. 18 at the IAO Gallery, 706 W Sheridan Ave, on Oklahoma City’s historic Film Row. Inspired by the small red stickers often used by galleries to indicate sold artwork, Red Dot offers attendees an opportunity to purchase unique works in a wide-range of media. In addition to showcasing local art, the event supports IAO’s efforts to subsidize artists and their work in Oklahoma.
