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: trips to the field, featuring OKC-based artist Ashley Forrest, will take place at amshot, 1300 N Broadway Dr. in Oklahoma City, on Thursday, February 20, from 5pm to 8pm.
All wristband donations for food and drink and 10 percent of art sales at exhibITion: trips to the field will benefit Edmond YMCA. Guests 21+ can enjoy local beer and wine. Light bites will also be provided.
ExhibITion: trips to the field is a collection of “wild paintings for wild times,” Ashley says.
Ashley is an artist and gallerist with a passion for bold expression and catalyzing local talent. Known for her affinity for large canvases, Ashley thrives on the physicality and rhythm of working big. She favors fast-drying acrylics, which enable her to channel the intensity and immediacy of her “fever dream” inspirations directly onto the canvas.

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:
