OPEN STUDIOS & PROGRAMMING

Tulsa Artist Fellowship opens for our signature First Friday series on June 7. Warm up the evening at Archer Studios with food and drinks by Que Gusto and Heirloom Rustic Ales while exploring artworks on view and in progress.

A new entry gallery presentation, Home on the Range, features a series of printed takeaways made in collaboration with nonprofit organization-in-residence Maple St. Construct and Flash Flood Print Studios alongside an experimental documentary screening of Maple St. Construct's time in Tulsa by Seejon Thomas.

The roof terrace hosts our third annual Pride Kickoff in partnership with Twisted Arts, including an artisan night market and drag variety show featuring Tulsa’s 2SLGBTQ+ community of exceptional artists, makers, and performers.

This will be the final night to experience Richard Zimmerman's Sinks, Closets, Fixtures, Flows, a series of sculptural fountain works made from plumbing components. These works celebrate elements of an omnipresent and frequently unnoticed or hidden infrastructure that binds the city together.

Join the Goff Center of the Continuous Present in the birthday celebration of Tulsa-born architect Bruce Goff, distinguished by his organic, eclectic, and often flamboyant designs for houses and other buildings in Oklahoma. There will be cake and festive Goff-inspired architectural installations!

Head to Flagship for the closing of the immersive exhibition The Hidden Gospels of Dust by awardee alum Ashanti Chaplin, which presents a striking visual representation of life’s fleeting nature against the backdrop of the eternal. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Chaplin says, “This dust gospel eloquently articulates the paradoxical human condition: our quest for permanence in a world defined by change, our search for meaning in the face of inevitable oblivion, and our enduring spirit that strives to understand our place in the cosmos.”
