Where to see art in Tulsa this month.
24 Hour Video Race Living Arts of Tulsa and Philbrook Museum of Art recognize that sometimes the best creativity emerges under pressure and time limits. There are two ways you can participate in this inventive event:
1. If you are or want to be a video artist, come to the kickoff at Living Arts at midnight, Feb. 6, to find out what the elements are for the videos. There will be a theme, a line of dialogue and a prop. You will then have 24 hours to create, edit and produce a five-minute film.
2. If you are a film lover and supporter of the arts, join the artists at a special reception and screening of the entries at Philbrook at 6 p.m., Feb 19. Awards are announced afterward at another reception at Living Arts. Seating is limited, so come early. Living Arts of Tulsa, 308 S. Kenosha Ave., 585-1234, www.livingarts.org; Philbrook Museum of Art, 2727 S. Rockford Road, 749-7941, www.philbrook.org
2009 Annual Spring Perspective
Featuring: Chapel, Maurice Evans, Todd Ford, Mateo Romero and James Smith
Lovetts Gallery will share an exciting opportunity for Tulsans to see five diverse national artists, including three painters and two sculptors. This is a chance to view contemporary realism, Native American mixed-media, African American folk art and abstract and representational sculpture all at one stop. I think you’ll find that each style comes out more vividly in contrast to the others. Works featured include molded steel, carvings, photographs, paintings, formed concrete and two- and three-dimensional mixed media. Feb. 26, 5-8 p.m. Lovetts Gallery, 6528 E. 51st St., 664-4732, www.lovettsgallery.com
Mi Corazon — Valentines Ball Have fun, dress up, learn to ballroom dance and support the arts all in one night at Living Arts of Tulsa’s fifth annual Mi Corazon Ball. This year’s event features a Latin twist with Latin dance lessons and demonstrations courtesy of Strictly Ballroom. Don’t fret about a dance partner — dancers extraordinaire will be available to whisk you onto the floor. The night also includes a cash bar, delicious hors d’oeuvres, a raffle and silent auction. Not sold yet? Body painting by Tulsa’s premier body-painter, John Sterling, also will be available. Feb. 7, 7-11 p.m. $25 per person; $20 each, Living Arts members. Liggett Studio, 314 S. Kenosha Ave., 585-1234, www.livingarts.org
