OKC Arts

We want your help. The community is invited to help name a new, larger-than-life sculpture to be installed outside the MAPS 4-funded OKC Louisa McCune Animal Welfare Center.

The new center is currently under construction behind the existing facility.

People can view a rendering of the artwork and vote for their favorite name among these four finalists at https://vision.okc.gov/naming-okc-animal-welfare-art.

- Windy
- Willow
- Oakie
- Thunderdog

Voting closes June 30, 2026. The name with the most votes will be the sculpture’s official title when it's installed – scheduled for late fall.
