About
Sunny Dayz Mural Fest is Oklahoma's first and only mural festival dedicated to celebrating women in the arts. The core values at the heart of this project are: Fighting against gender inequity in the arts, setting a new standard for ethical practices in mural festivals, and providing opportunities for emerging, experienced, and high school artists who identify as female and/or non binary while cultivating a supportive and equitable community of allies.
"I am beyond grateful to be a recipient of OVAC's inaugural round of THRIVE Grants. OVAC has been an integral part of my existence as an artist in Oklahoma. With the assistance of this grant, I cannot wait to see Sunny Dayz Mural Festival truly thrive." - Virginia Sitzes
