IAO Gallery

Who I'd like to meet:

The name Red Dot denotes the all-important red mark that a gallery places on any work of art as soon as it is sold. Red Dot is also the name of Individual Artists of Oklahoma’s (IAO) annual art auction scheduled for Friday, November 20 from 7-11 p.m. The auction will feature art work by more than 50 Oklahoma artists.

Also new this year the art will be showcased in IAO’s new gallery on historic Film Row. Guests at Red Dot will enjoy an entertaining evening of fine food, libations, socializing with friends and bidding on an eclectic selection of art that will appeal to a wide variety of tastes and budgets. Artwork up for auction will include sculpture, painting, mixed media photography, mosaic and fiber arts.

In addition to the familiar silent auction, another option for the collector who can’t risk losing a piece of art in the auction is “buy it now”. This alternative lets the buyer trump the auction and buy the artwork immediately.

Funds raised via Red Dot directly support IAO exhibitions throughout the year. Cost of admission to Red Dot is $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Purchase advance tickets at Blue 7 (7518 N May Ave), Full Circle Bookstore (1900 NW Expressway), online at www.iaogallery.org or by phone (405) 232-6060.

IAO is a cutting-edge gallery that serves a unique niche in the OKC cultural scene. The gallery showcases a diverse array of talented Oklahoma artists and provides a stimulating experience for our community. IAO draws an eclectic audience that runs the gamut from novices looking to learn and start collecting to dedicated patrons of the arts ready to expand their collections with pieces created by talented local artists.
