The “Art On and Off the Mother Road” event on Nov. 12-14 features artists on or near Route 66 in central Oklahoma, including two who have been Route 66 66 advocates for years.
Shellee Graham, who lives near Arcadia, will show her collage prints using PhotoShop images, including her Big Money series. You’ll probably also be able to see her “A Slice of Route 66 in 1926” art print, shown below:
Graham also has written several books, including one about the famed Coral Court Motel in St. Louis.
Jerry McClanahan’s art gallery in Chandler is included on the tour. McClanahan has gained a lot of attention for his paintings of vintage cars next to current or defunct Route 66 landmarks. This scene below in Sayre, Okla., shows his style:
McClanahan also wrote the “EZ66 Guide to Travelers” a guidebook to those wanting to drive the length of the Mother Road.
