PARTY!

Remember the feeling of building a blanket fort in the living room? Staying up late at slumber parties with your friends? You’re invited to relive that experience in a new immersive installation: PARTY!. Created by artists Krista Jo Mustain and Emily Madden in collaboration with Factory Obscura, PARTY! is a cozy, safe landing spot where you can escape the mundane and rest in the joy of nostalgia. Located inside Factory Obscura at 25 NW 9th St in Downtown Oklahoma City, the experience is open to the public May 25th - September 29th, 2025 with a special opening night celebration on May 24th from 5-8pm. Factory Obscura, the Oklahoma City-based company known for their wildly imaginative immersive art experiences, selected the PARTY! project from an open call for artists in late 2024. This is the first time Factory Obscura has opened a call for proposals, creating an opportunity for artists to imagine their work on a larger scale. Since being selected, Mustain and Madden have been busy gathering and altering materials that can create the cozy feel they are looking for: quilts, blankets, pillows, and more. An open call for donations brought in dozens of contributions, including some sentimental objects from people relieved to see them live a new life as art, a giant blanket fort built with the community. Factory Obscura is located at 25 NW 9th St in Downtown Oklahoma City, where PARTY! will be open in addition to their permanent immersive art experience, MIX-TAPE.
