Joy Richardson Exhibition at BancFirst Tower Gallery (4 Aug 2026)

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Richardson is a self-described “colorist” whose paintings are built entirely from color and balance rather than recognizable subjects. She works in acrylic for its blending properties, finessing subtle transitions from one hue to the next with everything from the smallest brushes to wide bristles and palette knives, layering tones until each canvas hums. “I’m absolutely passionate about color,” Richardson says. “Dreams in vivid tones saturate my mind.”

Central to every composition is a sense of balance — symmetrical or asymmetrical — that she follows by instinct rather than rule, turning a canvas in all directions until its “color-weight-interest” reaches parity. She even signs her work up the right side as part of that equilibrium. Because no single object anchors the image, the paintings carry a timeless appeal, and viewers tend to describe them with mood adjectives: festive, mellow, energized, peaceful, jubilant, spiritual, or pensive.

An artist with deep Oklahoma City roots, Richardson grew up in the city and earned a BS in Fashion with a minor in Journalism from the University of Oklahoma. Her work continues to evolve through new textures, colors, and uses of space. “You’ll see energetic tones and texture intertwine against a serene backdrop,” she says, “often with a saucy jolt that leaves the viewer uplifted.”

The exhibition opens with an artist reception on Tuesday August 4th, from 5 - 7 pm, and remains on view through October 30, 2026.

Artist Spotlight: Caddo, Chase Kahwinhut Earles

Caddo artist Chase Kahwinhut Earles is a potter whose work bridges traditional Caddo practices and contemporary design. A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, Earles is helping revive a Caddo pottery tradition that nearly disappeared after the last known Caddo potter stopped working around 1908.

Earles follows traditional methods throughout his process, digging his own clay, gathering mussel shell temper, burnishing each piece by hand and pit firing his work in open ground fires. After firing, he hand carves unique designs into every piece.

His work is held in permanent collections at the Autry Museum, Oklahoma Capitol, Crystal Bridges Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, the Eiteljorg Museum and the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian among others. Earles’ work has earned numerous prestigious awards, including recently Best of Show at the 2025 Hushtola Art Market, Best of Show at the 2025 Cherokee Art Market, 2025 SEASAM Art Market and two first place ribbons at SWAIA – Santa Fe Indian Art Market.

REMEMBER ME: MUSING ON BIRDS by Zia Daugherty (3 Oct 2026)

Sat, 03 Oct 2026 05:00:00 GMT

"Remember Me: Musing on Birds," Tulsa Artist Zia Daugherty’s First Solo Exhibition Opens October 3 at Positive Space

"Remember Me: Musing on Birds," by Zia Daugherty, is a collection of original artwork exploring themes of environmental vulnerability and the value of life, using birds as a visual through-line. “Many different ideas and emotions come up as I think about the subject matter of my art, such as environmental change, extinction, and our role in it all. I have begun categorizing these musings into specific art pieces as a way to process what can sometimes feel too big for me to put into words,” says Daugherty.

This exhibition invites the public to create a space for dialogue and ask: What is nature? What is our past, present, and future relationship with life on this planet? And which lives do we adhere value to and why?

About the Artist: Zia Daugherty is a visual artist residing in Tulsa, OK, specializing in oils and mixed media and inspired by the beauty of birds and native ecosystems. Zia also works as a decorative painter and art restorationist, demonstrating her versatility across various mediums including plaster, concrete, wood, and gold leaf. Her newest body of work explores the interconnected themes of human ecology, value systems, and environmental ethics.

Party Walls: Rotating Gallery Commemoration in EDO (3 Oct 2026)

Sat, 03 Oct 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Free and open to the public | All Ages

at the 400 Block of East Downtown Norman in the Walker Arts District

-------

This event celebrates the installation of the murals created during Ink the Block 2026 in The Lot in EDO.

This new rotating mural initiative is called "Party Walls." In construction, a party wall is a shared structural wall that sits directly between two separate properties and is the shared responsibility of both owners to maintain. In this instance, Party Walls refers to the responsibility of making space for public art and providing visible platforms for artists. 4 Oklahoma muralists were selected to paint during Ink the Block Party and the pieces themselves will have a new home that tells the story of how they came to be and spreads the joy of public art further than one day.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

We'll have live music from Later Laine and Will Gibson, community mural painting on a modular mural wall, with community art supplies; brushes, sidewalk chalk, and bubbles! There will be a drawing to win a custom original 2x2ft painting from Julius for anyone who completes the EDO Business Passport.

THE PASSPORT (Available in EDO Businesses starting September 10)

Pick up a stamp card from any participating EDO business. Get a stamp from each. Bring the completed card back to the lot before 8:30 PM during the Party Walls event and you are entered to win a custom painting from Julius! Must have at least 4 stamps to be officially in the drawing. The neighboring businesses are the reason East downtown is such a cool place to be and we are collaborating with them to put on this celebration of Norman's new rotating mural experience.

AFTER REST, A Musical Performance by Lauren Sonder (3 Oct 2026)

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 02:00:00 GMT

"After Rest," A Musical Performance by Composer Lauren Sonder at Positive Space, October 3

Get ready to get cozy. "After Rest" is an intimate musical experience by composer Lauren Sonder that invites the audience to slow down, rest, and dream. The event features an immersive set of original piano music played by candlelight, framed by guided reflection before and after the performance. Guests are encouraged to experience the music in whatever way feels most supportive, either lying down or seated. Born from Lauren’s experience as a neurodivergent person requiring a lot of rest, the event affirms embodied ways of knowing. At the heart of the evening are two questions: What is a restful space, and what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to rest?

About the Artist: Lauren Sonder is a composer and performer based in Oklahoma. Her intimate, felt piano sound draws on a mix of pop and classical aesthetics and explores ideas of softness, openness, and trust. Lauren’s newest project, "After Rest," invites the audience to slow down, rest, and dream. Her 2025 EP "Missing" has been called “one of the most quietly affecting and deeply felt Oklahoman releases of the year” (Brett Fieldcamp, Oklahoma City Free Press). Lauren has performed at the University of Oklahoma, Factory Obscura, The Medium, Moonbeam Conservatory, Opolis, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, and other regional venues, as well as internationally in Coswig Anhalt and Berlin, Germany. Lauren has a Bachelor’s in music from the New England Conservatory of Music and a Master’s in music from the University of Oklahoma. In addition to composing and performing, she has an active teaching schedule.

"After Rest"

A musical performance by Lauren Sonder

9-10pm, Saturday, October 3, 2026

Tickets: $10 in advance or at the door

A limited number of floor mats will be provided, along with chairs. Guests are welcome to bring their own mats, blankets, pillows, or other comfort items to create a personal resting space.

Bread & Puppet Theater: The Upside Down World Circus (10 Oct 2026)

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 21:00:00 GMT

The one and only Bread & Puppet Circus is hitting the road! This fall The Upside Down World Circus will tour cities and towns across the country, landing in Oklahoma City on October 10th, 2026! Get ready for a show featuring puppets big and small, acts serious and silly, and performances slapstick and sublime. Stilt dancers, papier-maché beasts, and a riotous brass band make a raucous, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration.

With this show, director Peter Schumann asks, “Is it or is it not? Am I asleep or am I awake? Am I a cockroach or am I me?” He continues with a distinctly Bread & Puppet call to action: “Possibilitarians! We must demonstrate humanity’s upside-down situation in the face of the government’s depraved falsehoods. Luxury silence and despair must be replaced by revolt orchestras that radically oppose the radically wrong system. It is time to unforget the revolution-in-progress and aim for the evermore on the universe’s shore.”

After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.

In addition to the performance on Saturday, October 10th, the Oklahoma City tour stop also includes a hands-on workshop opportunity. On Friday, October 9th, 6-9pm the Bread & Puppet crew will host 30 participants who will go behind-the-scenes of the show. Bread & Puppet’s work features diverse puppetry and street theater performance styles to tell vital stories of the moment. Through the lens of a rehearsal process, participants in the workshop will be introduced to these performance styles and methods. The workshop culminates with participants performing alongside Bread & Puppet company members in the performance the following day.

Now in its 63rd year, Bread & Puppet will tour to some of its regular fall stops including New York, Cambridge, and Baltimore, as well as to cities and towns in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri. The full tour schedule is available at BreadAndPuppet.org/Tour. Join us for a serious and silly circus!

“Pieces & Poems” Solo Art Exhibition (6 Nov 2026)

Fri, 06 Nov 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Come view “Pieces & Poems” the newest series from emerging artist Sara Whitehead. This exhibition invites viewers to reconnect with the dissociated parts of themselves by pairing each art piece with a companion poem that is often displayed in a sculptural way. As visitors move through the exhibition, they are welcomed by familiar themes of togetherness & longing while they are asked to reconcile the opposing themes of hypocrisy & pain. My work embodies this theme of reconciling opposites by intertwining painting & poetry, distilling my complex & ephemeral subjects into simple forms & phrases. Opening Reception at the Paseo Arts & Creativity Center during Paseo’s First Friday Gallery Walk on November 6th, 6-9pm.
