Exlporing the Arts and Culture of Oklahoma

Tune In:

Thursday, February 11 @ 7:00 am on OETA OKLA

THE THESPIAN He trained on stages in Oklahoma, then took to stages around the world starring in national Broadway tours and headlining in theatres in all 50 states. Now Jonathan Beck Reed has come home to start a family and to give back. Reed and his old college friends operate one of only two union theatres in the state. He teaches acting at Oklahoma City University and runs a private studio for younger students in Edmond. He was born to be onstage and Oklahoma is lucky he was born here because after being away for 12 years, The Thespian has come home. THE ART OF PRESERVATION He's a national leader in his field attracting patrons from near and far. Choctaw's Danny Keener is just one of two Master of Master taxidermists in America. The retired Oklahoma City police officer of 28 years has a knack for stuffing and mounting animals for display and outdoor enthusiasts keep him busy. Keener mounts 175 deer each year, and that's just deer. To practice taxidermy one must be familiar with anatomy, sculpture, painting and tanning. To be a master of masters in the field. Well, let's just say Keener is an expert in all the skills required to engage in The Art of Preservation.

FUNCTIONAL FUSION

They’re used to working alone. They’re used to bringing their ideas to life unhindered by restrictions. They’re used to being singularly accomplished artists in their individual fields, but when they’re thrown together to carry out a common mission full of regulations, there’s no telling what these Oklahoma artists will come up with. State art maven, Laura Warriner knew it would be wonderful, but challenging when she asked 50 Oklahoma creatives to design artistic and functional furniture for an entire house. The process was exhausting, but the results? You won’t believe just how artistic your home furnishings could be. You can see the “Functional Fusion” of art and furniture on Gallery in February.
