WHS Alumna Artwork Selected by NBA to Represent OKC Thunder

WHS 2012 graduate and local artist Taylor Clark has her original artwork on display in New York City in the NBA's Artists Ball Exhibit called "30 Rocks," at Rockefeller Plaza until Oct. 21.

Westmoore High School 2012 graduate and local artist Taylor Clark earned the chance of a lifetime, with her original artwork on display in New York City in the NBA's Artists Ball Exhibit called "30 Rocks," at Rockefeller Plaza. The exhibit celebrates the NBA's return to NBC and runs from Oct. 16 through Oct. 21, which also happens to be the season opener game for the OKC Thunder. 

 

Last October, Clark was selected as one of 10 featured artists for the 2024-2025 OKC Thunder Artist Group. She participated in a private live painting with Professional Basketball Club Chairman Clay Bennett and OKC Thunder Executive VP and CAO Danny Barth.

 
The NBA and rEvolution Sports Marketing agency and NBC selected thirty artists' designs to represent each of their home teams' cities and basketball culture. Clark's design was selected to represent the Oklahoma City Thunder in their national, interactive installation exhibit and is a part of the NBA Tip-Off Celebration.    
 
According to the NBA's project press release, "The artists’ creations, designed in collaboration with each NBA team, are a one-of-a-kind basketball-themed rock that embody the identity of their team’s city and culture, and that feel authentic to their local community. After the closing of "30 Rocks" and the tip-off of the NBA season, each of the 30 rocks will return to its team’s city to have a homecoming and continue driving fan engagement, impact, and excitement for its team." 
 
Blessed to have had my art selected by @littlerbige for NBA and NBC to represent the Oklahoma City Thunder in a national installation at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City!

Clark said, "...My design for the Thunder is currently on display alongside 29 other custom art pieces, each celebrating the spirit of the game and its communities."
 
Clark's OKC Thunder bio lists her as, "An acrylic painter and muralist based in Oklahoma City. She is known for her vibrant, faith-inspired works that explore themes of spirituality and the human experience. Her dynamic use of color and light captures moments of contemplation and emotional depth. Taylor has been featured in various group exhibitions, including Plaza Walls 2023, and her work was recently selected as the official piece for the 2025 Tribal Public Health Conference."
 
According to the NBA Thunder Artist Group webpage, "Thunder Artist Group is a skilled group of Oklahoma artists that are commissioned to create various forms of artwork for Thunder events, programs and select promotions during the 2025-26 season. The goal of the Thunder Artist Group is to create and deepen connections through shared artistic experiences."
