Wine and Painting Exhibit Featured at State of Creativity Project
Wine and Paint Party Community Canvas Exhibit with over 1000 participants was presented by Tiffany Bohrer, the Tipsy Artist. Her motto is "Every Painting is Divine with a Little More Wine." Her mobile art party for all ages began to emerge in 2008 through daycare centers, local night spots and her very own studio in historic downtown Frisco, TX.
Tiffany's Tipsy Artist Community Canvas inspired by Sausalito Vineyards was featured along with 40 other exhibits at the Oklahoma Creativity Launch in February, 2008 with approximately 1000 guests. This special exhibit gave guests a chance to interactively participate with a large scale community canvas to celebrate the commemorative event.
Beyond the Creativity Launch, please join Tiffany Bohrer at The Utopia Joe Studio. Guests can expect to enjoy a hands-on Tipsy Artist Class inspired by the original works of art of Tiffany Bohrer, and a glass of wine. Class registration range in price from $45 per student and walk-ins are welcome. The introductory class schedule will include nightly art classes and themed art class parties such as Wine & Unwind Wednesdays and Crafts & Cocktails.

Oklahoma Creativity Launch 2008
OKLAHOMA CITY - While memory of the state's centennial celebration is still fresh, it's time to put Oklahoma on the path toward becoming an innovative leader for the next 100 years, Oklahoma Creativity Project Executive Director Phil Moss said.
The first step may very well be the official launch Friday of the Oklahoma Creativity Project, a statewide effort to promote creativity in culture, commerce and education. The Chesapeake Energy- sponsored event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at Science Museum Oklahoma, 2100 NE 52nd St.
"We want to create an environment in the state and our partner organizations to have more open attitudes about looking at opportunities for change," Moss said, and by doing so attract creative people and who help improve the quality of life and drive economic development.
"We might examine policies or strategies that may have worked for us in the past, but because of the changing nature of the economy or the changing nature of our demographics, or the use of technology, might suggest that we try something new as we move forward," he said.
The project will focus on education, commerce and culture because those are the three areas that organizers feel they can initiate the longest-lasting and deeply affecting changes, Moss said. Each area will have committees that will identify examples of change that the project advocates.
"What we really don't want to do is create an organization that says, 'We're here to promote innovation and creativity, but we're going to define it and tell you what to do,'" he said. "Because if we do that we're going to miss opportunities to consider approaches we hadn't thought of, and that's the essence of creativity."
Gov. Brad Henry designated 2008 as the Year of Creativity. First lady Kim Henry has been chosen as one of several creativity ambassadors, which include Olympic gymnast Bart Conner, music composer Jerod Tate, fine artist & film maker Joe Bohrer and astronaut Thomas Stafford.
Creativity Project sponsors are the DaVinci Institute, Academy for State Goals, Oklahoma Centennial Commission, the Kirkpatrick Foundation, and Oklahoma A Schools, cited by Moss as an example of creativity in education for introducing arts into the daily school experience.
The 40-member board of directors includes law firm partners, college deans and presidents, business executives, elected officials and other community leaders.
Board Chairman Burns Hargis said in a prepared statement the project will "bring focus to unite Oklahomans in inspiring, harnessing and cultivating our creativity in commerce, culture and education to produce innovations leading to greater prosperity, growth and advancement in our next 100 years."
