The Paseo Arts Association presents The Other Side, a body of photographs documenting the changes occurring along Route 66 over the course of five years ahead of its centennial. A collaborative project, The Other Side is an ongoing project by two artists based in Route 66 states, Melinda Green Harvey of Texas and VC Torneden of Oklahoma. Exhibits of selections from The Other Side offer audiences an opportunity to spend time getting to know places they may have previously given little thought to if they knew about them at all, and to reflect on how being bypassed (literally as well as figuratively) has fueled the changes to those places. It is the intent of the artists that this consideration will lead the viewers to understand the broader implications of Route 66’s legacy, especially given that what has happened and is happening along the Mother Road is a direct reflection of what has happened and is happening throughout the whole of American society.

Matt Goad’s Gentrifying Mars opens to the public on Thursday, September 5, 2024, at 1515 Lincoln Gallery, with an opening reception from 6 to 8 pm. Join us at the gallery to celebrate the opening! The artist will be present at the opening reception.

The exhibition showcases Goad's latest works, which explore otherworldly landscapes imbued with profound personal significance. Through his art, Goad transports viewers to exotic and geometric worlds, revealing deeper truths that resonate uniquely with each individual.

Reflecting on his show, Goad states, “The rocket ship has been thrown off course and crash-landed on a desolate expanse of red dirt. Gentrifying Mars explores themes of loneliness, longing, self-reliance, personal discovery, and healing. Departing from the bright, flat colors of my previous work, this series ventures into darker territories, employing more subdued palettes and rough textures through new mixed media techniques.”

Using familiar iconography, such as astronaut-like characters inhabiting strange, desolate worlds and performing varied motions, Goad connects us to our shared humanity. His captivating paintings offer a glimpse into the mind of an artist whose work deeply reflects his journey. Throughout this series, we see echoes of his past work, but with this latest collection, he transports us to new realms.

Beginning Saturday, September 7, from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm, 1515 Lincoln Gallery will feature harmonica player Jeremy Parks in the bistro lounge every Saturday afternoon in September. Jeremy Parks is a harmonica virtuoso whose journey through music has spanned decades, genres, and stages across the country. From his early beginnings performing alongside the legendary Charlie McCoy of “Hee-Haw” fame, Jeremy quickly established himself as a prodigious talent in the world of harmonica. Born into a family with deep musical roots, Jeremy was immersed in the world of music from a young age. His grandfather, Roy Burcher, a renowned harmonica player, introduced him to the instrument at the age of four. By the time he was five, Jeremy was already performing on stage with McCoy and other country music legends, opening for acts like Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley, and Mel Tillis. After a period of introspection and personal transformation, Jeremy is now back on stage, bringing his harmonica mastery to Oklahoma City. His Saturday shows at 1515 Lincoln Gallery are an intimate, immersive experience where audiences can enjoy soulful renditions of beloved songs in a close-up setting. Jeremy’s performances are not just about music; they are about connection, emotion, and the joy of sharing timeless tunes in a fresh, innovative way.
