The multi-sensory experience combines glass, video, and audio to tell the story of Raven, a creator figure in Northwest Coast Native American culture, who was the giver of the stars, moon, and sun.

Raven takes visitors on a transformative journey through darkness into light. In addition to Singletary’s striking glass pieces, the exhibition features storytelling paired with original music, coastal Pacific Northwest soundscapes, and video.

PAMBE Ghana's Global Market is a fair trade store where customers can find unique handmade products.

We offer items made by artisans who are paid a fair living wage for their work, providing shoppers with beautiful and meaningful crafts to keep or give to friends and family.

Best of all, every purchase also benefits the school kids at La'Angum Learning Center in rural northern Ghana. It's a win-win-win: for th artisans, for the school kids, and/or the customer.

The Soul Is a Wanderer is the latest iteration of Oklahoma Contemporary’s biennial ArtNow, highlighting new and recent art from a selection of artists active in the state. Thirteen cross-generational artists come together in this exhibition organized by Tulsa-based guest curator Lindsay Aveilhé. Taking its title and inspiration from a line in the poem A Map to the Next World (2000), by former United States Poet Laureate Joy Harjo, the exhibition explores past, present and future moments of passage, reckoning, and renewal.

Multiple Voices is the first public artwork in the United States by Eva Schlegel, the Austria-based artist known for engineering steel and mirrors into spectacular, architectonic sculptures. Working with materials similar to the arts center’s new building,

Schlegel created a series of polished and translucent surfaces that catch and reflect light and parts of the surrounding environment, encouraging visitors to gather, play and learn.

Poems by Steve Bellin-Oka, Kimberly Blaeser and Joy Harjo appear in blurred form on glass panels, registering each poem as part of the sculpture, but rendered cryptic to the viewer.

Descendants of the Black 1000: Flight from Oklahoma Black Towns to Canada features the work of Canadian artist Donna Paris and photographer David Ofori Zapparoli. A selection of 12 photographs with corresponding oral history audio recordings reveals the deep connections between Black Canadians and Oklahoma, from where many of the portrait sitters’ forebears hail. Through photographs, interviews, and archival materials, Descendants of the Black 1000 creates a fuller picture of how Black history in Oklahoma had an international reach, going beyond the state and connecting communities across the continent.

What began in 1995 as a small local light show, is now a shining event in Northwestern Oklahoma each year. Ran by a committee of local members, Crystal Christmas is put on by the community, for the community. The event relies entirely on the support of donations and volunteers, and each year it becomes bigger and brighter thanks to the unwavering support of event volunteers and donors.
