Istvan Gallery @ Urban Art ..."There is a crack in everything. Thats how the light gets in." Leonard Cohen
In the spirit of early community art centers like the Jacobson House in Norman, the Old Nan Sheets Gallery in OKC and more recent entities like the Contemporary Arts Foundation of the 1960's, Individual Artists of Oklahoma, Living Arts in Tulsa and the Paseo District, the Istvan Gallery @ Urban Art will feature the work of emerging and established Oklahoma artists in an atmosphere designed to be comfortable for art collectors as well as art lovers who have never been in an art gallery.
..
The Istvan Gallery wants to provide the opportunity for everyone to know an artist and for everyone to be invited to at least one art opening every year.
The Istvan Gallery will feature a regular roster of artists as well as special exhibits with artist's reception approximately every four months.
..
The Istvan Gallery will serve as host to Story Slams, Film and Video, Poetry Readings and other community events.
..
The Istvan Gallery is also available for private events including meetings, parties and other special occasions.

Many thanks for the friendship! We would be honored if you read and comment the new artist interviews on our profile!
SEX AND CONSPIRACY! Swedish punkrocker and painter Karl Backman talks about his art, and the reactions to it from right wing christians, pee fetish girls and conspiracy theorists.
MYTHOLOGIES AND LIFE! French graphic designer and writer Laurent Rivelaygue discuss nightmares and a road movie in bumper cars.
GRACE AND ELEGANCE! American artist Betsy Jones talks about geometric landscapes, happiness and the arts of the geisha.
i assure you i've ruined nothing that the opening credits didn't ruin. does that make sense? i don't know if it does. it doesn't matter. and william katt was the greatest american hero. there was a theme song. i was in grade school.
Thanks for the friendship Istvan Gallery. I really like your art collective and admire the talent behind it. I look forward to browsing your imagery for motivation and inspiration. I wish you a most creative day!
