Countdown to Annual Meeting
Art Contest
Are you ready to show off your hidden artistic talent? Now’s your chance! Enter your pieces of art in the 2009 Attorney Art Show.
The art show is part of the OBA Annual Meeting, to be held Nov. 4-6 at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. Original, attorney-created works of art will be on display throughout the meeting. Last year we had 22 artists enter 63 pieces of art in 10 different categories and we expect another great success this year.
A panel of three local art aficionados will judge the entries. First, second and third place designations will be awarded in each category, and the panel will select an overall “Artist of the Year” from all of the entries. The attorney named “Artist of the Year” will be requested to attend Thursday’s Annual Luncheon to receive his or her award, and the artist of the year will have his or her artwork displayed at the Oklahoma Bar Center in Oklahoma City for a year.
Art show participants may submit entries in as many categories as they wish; however, there is a limit of two entries per category. Additionally, all entries must have been completed within the past five years and cannot have been awarded the top three places in any prior OBA Attorney Art Show. To participate, simply register for the Annual Meeting and fill out the art show registration form. No extra entry fees — they are included in the meeting registration fee.
The art will be on display Wednesday, Nov. 4 from 6 – 9 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 5 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Judging will take place on Wednesday from 12 – 2 p.m. No registrants will be allowed in the display room during judging.
We look forward to your participation! If you have any questions, please contact Shawnae Robey, 2009 Art Show Coordinator, at (405) 325-4124, or e-mail artattorney@okbar.org.
