Prairie Moderns: The Artwork of Don Holladay

From 7:00PM to 12:00PM

The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma's newest art exhibit, "Prairie Moderns: The Artwork of Don Holladay," will open in the Nesbitt Gallery on Saturday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. A reception will be held in the gallery and is free and open to the public. Holladay focuses on figurative and non-objective images that convey isolation. His studio includes an etching press and many of his pieces originate from the printmaking process, which he sees as lending itself to solitary figures and uncluttered images. Holladay's works have appeared in solo and juried shows across the state, including MainSite Contemporary Gallery, Norman Depot, Norman Firehouse Art Center, The Goddard Center, Paseo Originals, Leslie Powell Gallery, IAO, USAO's Nesbitt Gallery, the University of Oklahoma's Lightwell Gallery among others. He serves as the Board Chairman of the Oklahoma Arts Institute Foundation and was named to the USAO Foundation's Board of Trustees last summer.
