Fringe Art brings contemporary women artists together in the Oklahoma city metropolitan area. We are a collective of all fine arts mediums with various skills and a broad knowledge-base working together to promote progressive and forward thinking ideas. As a group we will evolve as individual artists, nurture each others ideas and form strong working relationships to create high quality art.

Fringe evolved from the concept of strength in numbers and formed an alliance to give professional female artists a way to network, brainstorm, boost visibility and provide peer support.
“Christie Hackler founded Fringe as a means of support. Women are pulled in so many different directions, from their careers to motherhood, that Hackler believed they could keep each other focused on art amid these events.”
“We’re so excited,” said Christie Owen, Fringe vice president. “We have gotten so much support and everyone has really embraced this concept.”
