Fareshteh Hamidi and Emily Isbill named co-chairs as tickets launch August 1 for OKCMOA’s Late Night fundraiser.
OKLAHOMA CITY (July 29, 2025)—The Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA) is thrilled to announce that tickets for Late Night, presented by VI Marketing and Branding and one of the Museum’s most anticipated annual events, go on sale Friday, August 1.
Taking place on Friday, September 5, 2025, from 9:30 p.m. to midnight at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, Late Night is the official afterparty of the Renaissance Ball—OKCMOA’s biggest fundraiser of the year—and features an open bar, light bites, live music, dancing, and more.
Guests must be 21 or older to attend. Tickets are $100 for Moderns members and $125 for non-Moderns. More information about becoming a Moderns member can be found at okcmoa.com/moderns.
This year’s Late Night theme draws inspiration from the bold, geometric work of artist Paul Reed, in celebration of Paul Reed: A Retrospective, a new exhibition organized by OKCMOA opening in November. The event will reflect Reed’s signature use of color, symmetry, and repetition to create a vibrant, immersive experience supporting the Museum’s exhibitions and collection.
OKCMOA is proud to announce this year’s Late Night Co-Chairs, Fareshteh Hamidi and Emily Isbill—two passionate leaders from the Museum’s Moderns Board.
As Fareshteh Hamidi enters her sixth and final year on the Moderns Board, she is thrilled to co-chair Late Night with her friend Emily, an event they have both enjoyed for several years. Fareshteh has served as the Board’s Events Chair and Elections Chair. She works as a business and commercial litigation attorney at Steptoe & Johnson, PLLC.
“I’ve made many special memories with my family at the Museum,” she says. “I consider myself a museum advocate and am excited to see friends I’ve recruited to OKCMOA at Late Night.”
Emily Isbill, a lifelong Oklahoman and current Membership Chair of the Moderns Board, is an attorney at Crowe & Dunlevy, where she focuses on healthcare, administrative, and cannabis law. Her passion for local arts is matched by deep involvement with organizations across the city.
“From opening Edith Head: Hollywood’s Costume Designer to our now-annual Halloween happy hour, I love the way Moderns events bring people together,” she says. “Late Night is the highlight of the year, and I’m honored to co-chair it.”
Late Night supports OKCMOA’s mission and is one of the Museum’s most important fundraising events of the year. Tickets sell out fast. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit okcmoa.com/latenight.
