Like most states in the Bible Belt, our cultural hubs are flashes of blue-state politics amid a sea of red. Progressive values common among the art community being overwhelmed by a statewide conservative constituency is the subject of OUTNUMBERED, a curated art show featuring artists who’ve worn their contrary politics proudly, but also want to work with, not against the perceived political majority.

Conceived and curated by Jack Fowler, this show is an artistic response to the realization that the tone of political conversation is much different outside the metro bubble(loosely defined as being between 10th to 36th and I-235 to Lake Hefner Parkway.) Though it seems progressives are making gains neighborhood by neighborhood, we are still the only state to not have a single district swing to Obama in either presidential election and our state government continues pushing some of the most conservative legislation in the nation.

OUTNUMBERED is a response to that community isolation as well as how to work through it. Check out this great write-up by the Oklahoma Gazette for more.
