    Explore Jakian Parks: The Black Land. Though the lens of photographer Jakian Parks, Oklahoma’s Black rodeo culture becomes both symbol and setting for survival, resurgence and celebration. Much like the rodeo itself, The Black Land connects the past and present, situating the American West as a living archive and center stage for Black cattlemen and cowboys alike. The Black Land honors the dignity, beauty and power of Black equestrian life as a living tradition of cultural and historical significance.

    • BancFirst Tower


    The Howell Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Dennis R. Johnson at BancFirst Tower Underground, 100 North Broadway Avenue.

    Johnson has painted for over forty years, building a body of work that moves fluidly between abstraction and photorealism. His abstract paintings bring an unexpected sense of control, order, and realism — qualities he deliberately introduces to challenge assumptions about what abstract work can be. "My paintings are like inventions," Johnson says. "I love discovering new territory."

    In recent years, Johnson has turned his attention to a series of photorealist works, finding in them a new set of challenges and a fresh perspective on his lifelong passion. The exhibition brings together paintings from both bodies of work, showcasing the range of an artist who describes his practice simply: "I live to paint and paint to live."

    The exhibition remains on view through July 2026.

    • Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art

    Geometric painting by Frederick Hammersley
    On the Edge: The Abstract World of Frederick Hammersley traces the artist’s pursuit of abstraction across spontaneous compositions, geometric designs, and works that sought to break from tradition. Frederick Hammersley (1919–2009) is recognized as a key figure in the mid-century Hard-edge movement—a style defined by precise geometric compositions and a strong focus on the relationship between color and form, marked by sharp edges and clearly defined shapes. This exhibition features more than 45 paintings and drawings from the Hugon Collection, offering a unique glimpse into Hammersley’s distinctive style and artistic process.

    On the Edge: The Abstract World of Frederick Hammersley is organized by the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and supported by the Hugon Family and generous donors to the museum’s endowment.

    Positive Space Hosts "In the Folk Tradition: Music + Poetry with Anna La Mare and Quinn Carver Johnson," Friday, June 5

    Positive Space Tulsa hosts "In the Folk Tradition: Music + Poetry with Anna La Mare and Quinn Carver Johnson," Friday, June 5. For both artists, folk music is more than an aesthetic or a sound, but rather a guiding philosophy, a framework for building community and sharing stories through art, and people likening to Woody Guthrie's axiom that “a folk song is what’s broke and how to fix it,” and write about belonging in a society that decides who it welcomes and who it excludes.

    Quinn's poetry draws from the labor-driven American folk tradition of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Lead Belly, and political poets like Carl Sandburg, Diane di Prima, and Etheridge Knight. Their poetry is rooted in the Kansas plains, the Oklahoma hills, and the Arkansas mountains. Their debut book, The Perfect Bastard, tackles issues of gender, sexuality, and class against the grit and colorful backdrops of professional wrestling and Middle America.

    Anna La Mare arrived at folk music from a different direction but with the same conviction. A Third Culture Kid who grew up between Paris, London, Rome, New Orleans, and North Carolina, she approaches her music just like her influences: lyrics first, with everything else in service of the feeling those words demand. Anna's debut single, “Jonna (Find Yourself a Man),” released May 12, 2026, is a Southern Gothic story told from the point of view of an exiled gay woman, the judgmental world’s verdict echoing underneath her story like a bad choir.

    About the Artists: Singer-songwriter Anna La Mare has been described as “emotional honey,” “folky Florence and the Machine,” “indie Joan Baez” and “a soul-driven embodiment of Joni Mitchell.” Her haunting folk Americana, touched by Celtic, Appalachian, and jazz influences, is as vulnerable as it is brave, offering you a home within her stormy and poetic soundscape. With her ghostly, road-worn, and soulful voice, La Mare (Lah MAH-ray) sings the stories she's picked up in her travels, enlivening the wanderer in every listener.

    Quinn Carver Johnson (they/them) is a poet, printmaker, and collage artist from Tulsa, OK. They are the author of The Perfect Bastard (Curbstone Books, 2023), winner of the 2024 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ+ Poetry. Their work has also appeared in World Literature Today, Rappahannock Review, Right Hand Pointing, Cimarron Review, Red Earth Review, and elsewhere, and was featured on The Slowdown podcast hosted by Major Jackson.
