MAINSITE Contemporary Art (122 E Main) will celebrate the opening reception of Are we having fun yet? from Oklahoma-based designer, artist, illustrator and photographer Joshua Boydston, as well as In Color from mixed media artist Bridget Trowbridge.

Boydston has used his creative work to support other artists for nearly two decades. He evolved from a writer, primarily covering the Oklahoma music scene and touring acts, to a designer and arts administrator. He’s now spending more time developing his own personal art and expressions of creativity. As the Associate Director of Norman Arts Council from 2012 through 2024, promoting the Norman Arts community through the installation of exhibitions at MAINSITE Contemporary Art, support of public art projects, management of social media and designing 2nd Friday Norman Art Walk posters for the entirety of his tenure.

Working in abstract expressionism, Bridget Trowbridge’s art is a personal way of processing life and emotion. She draws inspiration from the energy of artists like Basquiat, Cy Twombly, and Francis Bacon. She says, “My work is a visual record of my life. I create mixed media pieces using oil pastels, charcoal, chalk, graphite, and paint on wood panels and canvas. The subjects shift between pop culture, Oklahoma places, florals, and figures inspired by experiences that have shaped my life.”

In the Library Gallery will be the opening reception of Skeletons, Snails, and Sorcerers from artist Charlie Street. “My work is heavily inspired by the intricate and macabre woodcuts and engravings of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. While prints from that era often centered on religious themes or life’s hardships, I try to depict more fantastical and surreal subjects.”

The reception is free and open-to-the-public.

Mister Robert Furniture (109 E Main) will be featuring Coach V's 212 Candles and original art.
