Pumpkinville returns to the Myriad Botanical Gardens with a new theme: “The Museum of Pumpkinville." This year, the event has been extended by an additional week and expanded hours, giving guests even more time to enjoy the festivities.
At "The Museum of Pumpkinville," guests can explore more than 50,000 pumpkins, gourds, and other fall foliage creatively arranged into exhibits that replicate popular museum installations. The art exhibit will feature famous paintings brought to life while the space exploration exhibit will showcase pumpkin-made rockets and planets and much more.

MAINSITE Contemporary Art is excited to announce "Wêwenetôni Shehkîtâkan: Ancestral Patterns Through Our Regalia" a group exhibition curated by Amber DuBoise-Shepherd. The show debuts with the opening reception on October 10 at 6:00 pm, coinciding with Norman's 2nd Friday Art Walk, and runs through November 14.

"Wêwenetôni Shehkîtâkani: Ancestral Patterns Through Our Regalia, is an exhibition influenced by my late grandmother, Adeline Ketcheshawno DuBoise, who was born for her people of the Prairie Band Potawatomi, Sac & Fox, Kickapoo, and Absentee Shawnee... For this exhibition I wanted to share her work alongside other Indigenous fashion designers, weavers, jewelers, and painters, each sharing their ancestral patterns of their people and their families... The clothing, woven belts, and jewelry they create are more than just objects admired for their skill and beauty—they are to be respected and honored, as they carry the ancestral patterns, designs, and memories of our people. I trust this exhibition will urge viewers to look and engage more deeply with our creations beyond the surface level of the materials. They let viewers know that these creations exist beyond the past and are rooted in memory continuing to carrying our families and our nation’s people forward"
