FREE FAMILY DAY AT OKC MUSEUM OF ART -- MANUSCRIPT ILLUMINATION AND SACRED WRITINGS
SONIC Free Family Day: The Art of the Book at OKCMOA
Everyone's invited to the Museum on Nov. 13
Inspired by
the special exhibition, "Sacred Words: The Saint John's Bible and the
Art of Illumination," SONIC Free Family Day on Nov. 13 will feature
demonstrations by "The Saint John's Bible" artist calligrapher Diane von
Arx. SONIC Free Family Day is a bi-annual event with art activities,
story time and films. Free admission and all activities for the event,
taking place from noon to 5 p.m., are made possible by SONIC, America's
Drive-In. The Oklahoma City Museum of Art is located at
415 Couch Drive.
"We are thrilled to have one of 'The Saint John's Bible'
artists joining us for this fall's family day," said Tracy Truels,
director of learning and engagement. "Visitors can see her art in
'Sacred Words' and watch her demonstrate the art of calligraphy in
Founders Hall. We hope that getting a behind the scenes peek into the
calligraphy process will help visitors see the artwork on view in a new
and exciting way."
In April, SONIC Free Family Day drew over 3,200 visitors to
the Museum. At this fall's family day, families can practice designing
illuminated letters, sketch in the galleries, see demonstrations by
Diane von Arx and enjoy story time with Metro Public Library. Both
adults and children will enjoy the film "The Secret of Kells," a
children's story featuring illumination, at 1 and 3 p.m. in the Samuel
Roberts Noble Theater.
"We are looking forward to another fun-filled SONIC Free
Family Day at OKCMOA," said Christi Woodworth, vice president of public
relations at Sonic Corp. "Each Family Day is a little different,
providing new experiences for visitors both repeat and new to the
Museum. The theme this fall, 'The Art of the Book,' provides families
with many different opportunities to learn about and engage with
illumination and calligraphy."
"Sacred Words" presents the concept, historical context, technical execution and significance of "The Saint John's Bible" and
illumination as an art form. "The Saint John's Bible" is the first
illuminated, handwritten Bible of monumental size to be commissioned by a
Benedictine monastery in the modern era. "Sacred Words" includes
70 selected folios from "The Saint John's Bible" as well as other
historical illuminated manuscripts, such as Books of Hours, Qur'an pages
and Torah scrolls. This exhibition will be open through Jan. 8, 2017. For more information about the exhibit, go to http://www.okcmoa.com/current-exhibitions/ and follow the link.
