Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center  is having their fundraiser~Lux Affair: Psychedelic Elegance~ Thursday, September 24-7-10 p.m. Looks like fun if your in the area. I wonder if any one was alive in the beginning of the Age of Aquarius living as a hippie Fine Art Magazine Blog wishes all the most fun ever.

Luxe Affair: Psychedelic Elegance

Thursday, Sep. 24 | 7–10 p.m.


Join us for Luxe Affair: Psychedelic Elegance, Oklahoma Contemporary's stylish biennial fundraising celebration and one of the most anticipated evenings on the city's cultural calendar.

Inspired by the boundless imagination and creative legacy of Wayne Coyne, founder and frontman of The Flaming Lips, this spectacular after-dark event celebrates the forthcoming exhibition Happily One Freak: A Wayne Coyne Retrospective and transforms Oklahoma Contemporary into a vibrant world of art, fashion, music, and self-expression.

Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening of bold fashion, immersive art, inspired cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, live entertainment, and unexpected experiences. The atmosphere is electric, and the experience is designed to reflect the creativity, individuality, and adventurous spirit that define both Wayne Coyne's artistic universe and the arts community we serve.

Creativity Is the Dress Code.

Throughout the evening, guests will encounter immersive installations, live performances, interactive experiences, and opportunities to connect with fellow arts supporters, creatives, and community leaders. Blurring the line between celebration and performance art, Luxe Affair invites guests to embrace curiosity, creativity, and the joy of the unexpected.

Proceeds from Luxe Affair ticket purchases and sponsorships support Oklahoma Contemporary's free admission and educational programs, helping ensure the arts center can continue to provide innovative exhibitions, impactful community programming, and accessible arts experiences for audiences throughout Oklahoma.

Sponsorship opportunities are now available! Sponsorship packages include a variety of exclusive benefits, including an invitation to an intimate in-gallery dining experience surrounded by Happily One Freak: A Wayne Coyne Retrospective in April 2027.

Chad Mount: Frequency and Perspective

Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center warmly invites you to the opening reception of Frequency and Perspective, a new immersive installation by transdisciplinary artist Chad Mount.

Rooted in curiosity and guided by discovery, Mount’s work explores light, rhythm, and pattern as forces revealed through observation and repetition. Through projection mapping, laser light, generative visuals, and sound, Frequency and Perspective transforms the gallery into a dynamic environment that shifts with presence and perspective.

Blending analog and digital tools, the installation draws inspiration from moments of reflection, meditation, and time spent in nature—creating opportunities for what Mount describes as “micro-awe.”
Join us for a come-and-go evening of art, exploration, and community as we celebrate this exciting new exhibition.

Thursday, June 25, 2026
