Oklahoma City Museum of Art hosting an array of events this weekend
The museum’s offerings Friday-Sunday cover a wide range of interests — from biblical artifacts to beer-tasting to breast cancer awareness
Biblical artifacts, beer-tasting and breast cancer awareness will be part of a busy weekend at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch Drive.
From 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Friday, the museum will host its eighth annual ARTonTAP beer-tasting event. More than 80 different beers will be on tap and served up with food from local restaurants and live music from Born in November. The sold-out event, which raises money to support the museum, will be in the Stella Artois Roof Terrace Beer Garden.
Franco Mondini-Ruiz
Texas painter, sculptor and performance artist Franco Mondini-Ruiz, whose exhibit “Poodles & Pastries (and Other Important Matters)” is on view at the museum, plans to put on a new “6 Pack O’Paintings” performance and sell a new selection of free-spirited paintings created especially for the event. Possible titles he is considering for his ARTonTAP paintings include “Fun on Foam,” “Girl in Michael Kors Light” and “Man with a Six Pack.”
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mondini-Ruiz also will be at the museum from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday for more painting, pontificating and peddling. Visitors who show their Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure bib will be entered into a free raffle for one of his paintings. A portion of his sales that day will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The world premiere run of the vast “Passages” exhibit of rare biblical artifacts and manuscripts will close Sunday at the museum.
Celebrating the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, “Passages” is the nonsectarian, worldwide traveling exhibition of The Green Collection, among the world’s newest and largest private collections of rare biblical manuscripts and artifacts.
The collection is named for the Green family, founder-owners of Oklahoma City-based arts and crafts retailer Hobby Lobby, who opted to launch the world premiere of “Passages” in their hometown.
