Since 1997, the South Hudson Gallery at Festival of the Arts has been a premier spot on Festival grounds. The large tent offers visitors a true fine art gallery experience. The 2013 South Hudson Gallery will feature the always popular Pro-Am Exhibit.
Each piece of artwork displayed and offered for sale is collaboration between a pro, an artist who has participated in Festival of the Arts, and an amateur artist, a local community leader or celebrity. This year the amateur artists past Festival of the Arts chairmen (from 1999 – 2011).
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the artwork support the on-going work of the Arts Council of Oklahoma City. Curated by the South Hudson Gallery committee.
