The Electric Chair Art Gallery was born into existence in the autumn of 2003 by artist and art collector Shilo Brown as an addition to his bookstore Book Beat & Co. which has been successfully in operation for the past 8 years and which has made its own mark in the world by specializing in oddities rarely seen in a state such as Oklahoma, carrying a wide range of books, videos, and music. The Electric Chair Art Gallery's mission is to bring well respected underground and lowbrow artists of Oklahoma to the fore-front of the contemporary art scene of the world as a whole. The Electric Chair Art Gallery showcases mostly paintings from figurative to very abstract. The art content ranges from folk to outsider to religious to sexually deviant. The gallery's main objective is to bring the rare and obscure, perhaps even the forbidden to the masses. There's nothing considered too shocking for The Electric Chair Art gallery, and they are willing to consider anything for showing. The gallery shows a different artist every week with an opening reception that has been referred to as Oklahoma's happening event of the weekend. Please keep our gallery, and venue in mind for your next show or exhibit if you have any intentions on coming through Oklahoma, we would love to have you as our guests.

WE ARE A GALLERY WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE ON UP, AND COMING ARTISTS. IF WE FEEL THAT YOUR WORK IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SHOW, WE ARE WILLING TO TAKE THAT CHANCE, AND SHOW YOUR WORK, NO MATTER OF HOW MANY PREVIOUS ART SHOWS THAT YOU'VE HAD OR HAVEN'T HAD. THE QUALITY OF YOUR WORK IS WHAT SPEAKS TO US, NOT YOUR NAME, OR WHO YOU KNOW. WE ARE A GALLERY FIRST, AND FOREMOST WANTING TO PUSH YOUR ART WORK OUT INTO THE OPEN. THIS IS THE PHILOSOPHY THAT WE'VE LIVED BY SINCE 1997, and WHAT HAS KEPT OUR GALLERY STRONG SINCE 2003.
