The Individual Artists of Oklahoma, 706 W Sheridan, will host its annual Red Dot Art Auction from 7 to 11 tonight. The auction, which is meant to raise money for the operation of the gallery and organization, will feature the artwork of nearly 100 Oklahoma artists, all of which will be sale via silent auction. Tickets for the event are $25 and are available for purchase at the IAO Gallery, Blue Seven and Full Circle Bookstore.

“Red Dot is one of our most exciting events we host each year,” IAO Executive Director Kendall Brown said in a news release. “The auction gives us a chance to showcase some of the best artists working in Oklahoma, while giving all in attendance a chance to walk home with a spectacular piece for their own collection.”
