Artwork will be carefully selected for its significance and connection to the vision of the project. We are seeking artwork that portrays nature, natural themes, landscapes, animals and other related subject matters. Artwork created with natural materials is also welcome. Artwork with calming imagery or an abstract feel is encouraged. High-quality works with similar or complementary themes are appreciated, but diversification is welcome. The vision for the McAlester Clinic expansion is to curate a collection of Choctaw-driven artwork that reflects these themes.
