Since opening our doors in early 2014, OZ’s singular creative space has been rich with dynamic artistic expression and impactful innovation. Alongside a diverse program of renowned performance artists from around the world, this dedicated entrance gallery has showcased the work of some of the most influential artists in the region, thanks to partnerships with local galleries, curators, and independent artists themselves. 

Looking back on our first 10 years, this special exhibit highlights 10 of the standout local artists featured in this gallery. The colorful, bold collection speaks to the appetite for Brave New Art that sets OZ apart, and is a continuation of the powerful vision of the organization’s founder, Cano Ozgener, whose work is included in this lively collection. Artists continue that legacy by showing us new ways of seeing the world and relating to each other. 10’s across the board for that, here’s to another decade of daring art!
