Captivating My Creative Culture is an organization that seeks to expose underrepresented youth to the arts. Founded by Denae Smith, CMCC offers free art classes to youth in Norman and Oklahoma City, and utilizes volunteer support from University of Oklahoma students and others. This exhibition features work by several young artists who take part in CMCC’s programs.

The gallery is thrilled to host this diverse and interesting group of professional and young artists for its Winter 2022-2023 exhibition. The gallery will host a holiday party and reception honoring the artists on December 10th from 5-8pm.
