Listen "S1E4 Joy Reed Belt"
Episode Synopsis
A vibrant city needs an arts district with a unique character. In Oklahoma City, that's The Paseo. And thanks to visionary John Belt and his wife Joy Reed Belt, OKC has the most distinctive district in this town and where Joy runs the JRB Gallery as OKC's preeminent art dealer. In this podcast, Joy tells how she arrived here, via Tulsa to teach returning Vietnam vets (with a little help from Leon Russell), and became involved in the revitalization of The Paseo all while becoming a world-traveling business consultant. You may think you know something about the history of the arts in this town, but you're guaranteed to learn more from Joy as she tells the history of legendary arts pioneer Nan Sheets and the creation of the OKC Museum of Art.Post-production by Fred O.
