Note: Of course, this timeline has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we have been installing a brand-new version, THE EXPERIENCE: IMAGINE, designed by a new cohort of 6 lead artists and originally set to open in late May 2020. The first iteration of THE EXPERIENCE ran from June 2018-December 2019. Giving people permission to let go of preconceived notions of art by showing them something they haven’t seen before is a great way to open their minds to all sorts of creativity in their lives. When I give tours, I see wonder light up the faces of my groups. Some people who visit are familiar with immersive art, but many are not. I’d say our standout exhibition has been THE EXPERIENCE, because it takes over an entire floor of the building. So, while I have certainly had favorite exhibitions, it’s hard to name just one! We host roughly six large exhibitions in THE GALLERY per year, and we don’t have a permanent collection. Art by David Reed James, courtesy ahha Tulsa.
