Join local artist Lauren Kelly at Aki Kin during the 2nd Friday Art Walk in downtown Norman on May 9, 2025 from 6pm-9pm for the release of From Canvas to Career.

In From Canvas to Career, Kelly shares the ups and downs of professional artist life with keen insights for those looking to develop a creative passion into something sustainable. Equal parts technical and anecdotal, Kelly’s work is for any artist— whether you went to art school and never learned how to sell or strategize or never had a shot at art school but want to give it a real go as an artist now.

Slide in, enjoy refreshments and art, and catch a live reading and signing.

This event is generously hosted by Aki Kin, a Citizen Potawatomi woman-owned business in Norman.
