This weekend, Tulsa’s Young Professionals‘ Next/Now Art Show goes on display at Living Arts. Typros started the Next/Now Art Show five years ago as a way to showcase the work being done by Tulsa’s YPs. What I’ve loved about this event every year is that there really are no limits to what art is produced, so as an attendee, there is no shortage of pieces available, and there is sure to be something to engage everyone. I can honestly say I don’t know who or what will be featured in this year’s Next/Now, but I know that there will surely be enough variety to satisfy my need for art — at least for now.
And let’s not forget about the venue. If you haven’t visited Living Arts‘ new space, this is the perfect opportunity to check it out one of Tulsa’s most impressive new arts venues. Living Arts has been a stable piece of the Tulsa art scene for over 40 years, and it now has the space it deserves. The building is an ideal space for art, giving more than enough room for patrons to peruse and mingle with friends. Living Arts has continued to support art in all mediums, from painting to sculpture, film, performance, concept — and a few things I don’t even have words to describe. Like I said, if you haven’t been to Living Arts, this is a great opportunity to come mingle and network with young professionals (don’t forget to consider a donation to Living Arts for all they do for Tulsa, it has been earned).
So you’ve got what is sure to be a great show, a great venue, how about some great food? Come to the reception on Tuesday, July 27th from 6-9 pm and try some of Vitter’s Catering’s Caribbean food and The Melting Pot’s dessert. Plus: a steel drum band, and Tony Bailey and Clair Collins performing Spoken Word.
I’ll be writing a follow up after visiting and seeing the art this time, but for now, I encourage you to get out and check out this show; it’s definitely something you won’t want to miss.
Living Arts Tulsa is located at 307 E Brady St [map] in the Brady Arts District.
