  • A Tribute to Betty Price Thank You, Betty
    IMPROVING LIVES THROUGH THE ARTSNEWSLETTER OF THE OKLAHOMA ARTS COUNCIL FALL 2007 Thank You, Betty or 33 years, Betty Price has been the voice of the Oklahoma Arts Council. Recently retired Fas Executive Director, Price has been at the helm of this state agency for most of its existence. We couldn’t think of anyone more eloquent than her good friend, Judge Robert Henry to celebrate Betty and her passionate commitment to Oklahoma and to the arts. We join Judge Henry and countless friends in wishing Betty a long, happy and productive retirement. A Tribute to Betty Price From Judge Robert Henry ur great President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once noted: “To further the appreciation of Oculture among all the people, to increase respect for the creative individual, to widen participation by all the processes and fulfillments of art -- this is one of the fascinating challenges of these days.” Betty Price took that challenge more seriously than any other Oklahoman. And, it is almost impossible to imagine what Oklahoma’s cultural landscape would look like without her gentle, dignified, and incredibly Betty in front of the We Belong to the Land mural by Jeff Dodd. persistent vision. Photo by Keith Rinerson forMattison Avenue Publishing Interim Director. Finally, she was selected by the Council to serve as its Executive Director. Betty, it seems, has survived more Oklahoma governors than any institution except our capitol; she has done it with unparalleled integrity and artistic accomplishment.

  • The Jamison Galleries Collection
    THE JAMISON GALLERIES COLLECTION BETTY W. AND ZEB B. CONLEY PAPERS New Mexico Museum of Art Library and Archives Dates: 1950 - 1995 Extent: 7.33 linear feet Contents Part One. Materials on Artists and Sculptors Part Two. Photographs of Works Part Three. Additional Material Revised 01/11/2018 Preliminary Comments The Jamison Galleries [hereafter referred to simply as “the Gallery”] were located on East Palace Avenue, Santa Fe, from August 1964 until January 1993, at which time it was moved to Montezuma Street. There it remained until December 1997, when it closed its doors forever. Originally owned by Margaret Jamison, it was sold by her in 1974 to Betty W. and Zeb B. Conley. The Library of the Museum of Fine Arts is indebted to the couple for the donation of this Collection. A similar collection was acquired earlier by the Library of the records of the Contemporaries Gallery. Some of the artists who exhibited their works at this Gallery also showed at The Contemporaries Gallery. Included in the works described in this collection are those of several artists whose main material is indexed in their own Collections. This collection deals with the works of a vast array of talented artists and sculptors; and together with The Contemporaries Gallery Collection, they comprise a definitive representation of southwestern art of the late 20th Century. Part One contains 207 numbered Folders. Because the contents of some are too voluminous to be limited to one folder, they have been split into lettered sub-Folders [viz. Folder 79-A, 79-B, etc.]. Each numbered Folder contains material relating to a single artist or sculptor, all arranged — and numbered — alphabetically.

Their presence will no doubt enhance the overall visitor experience at our airport.” Standing eight feet tall and weighing nearly 1,000 pounds, the bronze entitled Prayer will be displayed in the central concourse near the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. The second sculpture, The Future, is a bit smaller and will be located on the lower level by Baggage Claim 4. The locations were chosen so that all visitors to the airport would have an opportunity to enjoy the artwork of Allan Houser. The sculptures are on loan to WRWA from Allan Houser, Inc. of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the family company which represents the artist’s estate. They will be on display, free of charge, through December, 2014. Will Rogers World Airport joins numerous other institutions in Oklahoma City and across the state in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the native Oklahoman’s birth.
