By: Anjelicia Bruton OKLAHOMA CITY - There weren't many gatherings due to COVID-19 last year, but several artists are working to welcome people back into the community and to visiting Oklahoma City. Automobile Alley district manager Joe Hudson said art is meant to be captivating. He hopes adding some new artistic features downtown will help get things back to normal. “It, you know, brings the community up,” Hudson said. “It can make a boring place vibrant. Be whimsical. It can be fun, exciting, whatever you need it to be.” Downtown Oklahoma City Initiatives is ramping up round two of their micro-grant programs to give artists and other creators the opportunity to express themselves during the pandemic.
