NSU Art Prof in Museum Exhibition

Two oil paintings by Lance Hunter were chosen for the MOAK 2012-4 State Exhibition opening at the Springfield Art Museum on November 17th. The MOAK exhibition was open to artists residing in Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas. The exhibition has been held since 1990 at the museum.

The juror for the 2012 exhibit was Kevin Murphy, the Curator of American Art at the Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas. Seventy-three artists were selected by Murphy for the exhibit. Hunter was one of only five artists selected from Oklahoma and one of only six artists selected to have more than one piece included in the exhibit. The two oil paintings by Hunter, “Continental Drift” and “Without Reason” will be on display at the museum until January 13, 2013.  Previously, a watercolor by Hunter was purchased from the Watercolor USA National Exhibition  for the permanent collection of the Springfield Art Museum in 2010 .
