108|Contemporary is excited to present our newest exhibition, Still, featuring the work of Lissa

Hunter, Jane Sauer, Jo Stealey and Carol Stein. On view August 1 - September 20, 2025 this exhibition features

fiber and mixed media work stemming from stillness, observation, and awareness. Join us for the exhibition

opening on Friday, August 1, 2025 from 6:00 – 9:00 pm for an evening of art admiring and interacting plus a new I

Spy Challenge and Craft Kit based on the exhibit.

Artists and friends for several decades, Lissa Hunter, Jane Sauer, Jo Stealey and Carol Stein have had many

conversations between and among themselves, encompassing a broad range of topics from personal tragedy, world

politics and of course their own studio practices. During Covid, the four met virtually to chat and to stay connected.

Out of these virtual conversations, the seed for this exhibition took hold.

The exhibition, Still, is a look at life from four perspectives over time. We are still artists working with fiber

processes—stitches, weaving, paint, cloth, paper. We are still friends, passionate about our practices. We tell stories

through objects that are intended to capture still shots from our ongoing experiences. Ideas for the work to be

presented range among the stories of objects themselves (Hunter), issues of compassion and social justice (Sauer),

celebration of the mundane (Stealey) and glimpses of the psychological landscape (Stein).

Mark your calendar. Oklahoma Contemporary’s biennial exhibition and celebratory event, ArtNow, is making its return this fall — and we hope you can join us!
