Select a local artist to feature
Every four months, our team highlights a member of the Oklahoma art community. The local Featured Artist assembles a gallery throughout amshot’s downtown office for visitors, clients, and employees alike to enjoy.
FEATURED LOCAL ARTIST:
Amshot’s art opening, exhibITion: Grow with the Flow, featuring OKC-based artist Sarah Day-Short, will take place at amshot, 1300 N Broadway Dr. in Oklahoma City, on Thursday, June 27 from 5pm to 8pm.
Sarah’s passion for materials and process transcends traditional boundaries, and her multimedia artwork spans printmaking, painting, epoxy resin casting, cyanotype, and poetry. Since 2009, Sarah has showed her work in solo and group exhibitions across Oklahoma, and her functional resin art and prints can be found in regional retail outlets.
ExhibITion: Grow with the Flow will benefit the Homeless Alliance, a nonprofit organization committed to ending long-term homelessness in OKC by building the capacity of the community. Sarah volunteers with the Homeless Alliance’s Fresh stART art program and has long donated a portion of her sales to support its mission.
All wristband donations and 10 percent of art sales at exhibITion: Grow with the Flow benefit the Homeless Alliance. Guests 21+ can enjoy wine and beer from our brewery sponsor, Prairie Artisan Ales.
In exhibITion: Grow with the Flow, Sarah explores the interconnectedness of nature’s cycles and the human experience, inviting viewers to reflect on their own journeys and connections to the world around them.
“This work is inspired by the beauty of the seasons and ever-changing nature. From the big picture lifetime seasons, to the small-scale monthly cycles, we are in a constant state of change. We can choose to fight it, or we can grow with it. Go with the flow, grow with the flow,” Sarah says.
At the opening, guests can participate in a free cybersecurity info session from exhibITion sponsor, Datto. Datto provides products to backup, restore, and protect data; simplify operations; and manage networks. Amshot is proud to be a platinum vendor with Datto.
As a local business, amshot’s core values challenge the office to empower our community, and local art plays an important role in the Oklahoma City community. At amshot, technology is our business tool and our creative outlet, so our team wanted to support local artists who also use their creative passion as a career.
For attendees, a local art gallery in OKC brings strangers together, inspires us to see the beauty in the world, and encourages even the busiest of us to stop and smell the roses. For the art community, they provide a venue to exhibit art, an opportunity to expand their network, and a platform to highlight artists.
With this in mind, amshot created exhibITion, an art exhibit to promote local artists, give back to the organizations that are making a difference in our backyard, and enjoy the company of fellow art-lovers. Here’s how we do it:
