They come in all colors. Midnight black, royal blue, reflective silver, brilliant gold, forest green, candy-apple-red, and chrysanthemum brown. They reflect adjacent architecture, earthy landscapes, playful parks, corporate color schemes, and school pride.
Most interestingly, they look like they have been there forever. So convincing in their stature, most cannot imagine anything else in their place.
These are our Centennial Clocks. They have become animated fixtures in our communities: always seen differently in the light, perpetually in motion, and calling our name with their resounding chimes.
Public enthusiasm has made the Oklahoma Centennial Clock & Bell Project one of the largest public art projects in Americaís recent times. Each clock is a modern day replica of period clocks that once graced main streets throughout Oklahoma and the United States.
These pages highlight the project with each clock installed or under construction identified in the Installations section. This website also details how you can get involved planning your own Oklahoma Centennial Clock, Bell or Tower Project for your community.
We hope you enjoy. |
