Here are some photos from the evening and the exhibit.

| The party is starting outside the gallery... |
...inside the gallery there were cases full of artifacts from movies old and new, including notes, scripts, costumes, props, and a room of Oscars and awards loaned from actors and their families. There's even a listing of all the Okies with Hollywood stars!
Looking up, large banners displaying historic theaters from all across the state line the sides while a large film reel snakes through showcasing more classic movies. Where I'm standing in this pic- there's a drive-in re-created behind me. Oh Yeah.... |
| The entrance to the Mary Blair/Alice in Wonderland Room, where I painted the wall art. |
 |
| Hoodwinked character sketches with wall text/quotes from Oklahoma director Sue Bea Montgomery |

 |
| The Oklahoma! room- this is what the marquis leads into... A replica set, with a large monitor/camera mounted viewable from the porch- so you can re-enact the scene! |
 |
| of course any swords fall under my radar...oh look...here's one from First Knight. Not your cuppa? There are also some Will Rogers' Connecticut Yankee treasures.... |
 |
| Interview with a Vampire Costume! I promise I am not going to photoshop Brad Pitt's head on it. Okay, I might. |
 |
| Panel of contributers for exhibit- more legible than my signature in the corners of the walls hehe. Also how cool my name is close to the top! |
The exhibit truly has so much packed into it. I am so delighted to have had this opportunity to help them out and to have been contracted for mural work once again through a state museum/historical group. It is planned to run until 2014, but some parts may change, so I encourage you to come out to the Oklahoma History Center this summer and view all the cinematic contributions from our fellow Okies!
and you better scurry... ;)
