One of the most wonderful things this great group does is put bronze sculptures and monuments all around Tulsa and most eye-catching--along River Parks on Riverside Dr. While visiting Tulsa, I was captivated by this public art. The annual NatureWorks Art Show and Sale helps to fund much of their work. At these Art Shows, supporters can browse paintings, sculptures and wooden carvings by the top wildlife, western and landscape artists across the United States. 30% of each art sale goes toward supporting the development and conservation of Oklahoma's natural habitats, as well as the creatures who live in and depend upon those habitats. What a wonderful group! I think the sculptures along the River Parks are amazing and so is NatureWorks!

I took this as a sign and finally checked it out. I'm so glad I did! It was a slow day so I took my time to walk all around the store while asking questions. Turns out it's an artist co-op nonprofit. Several artists came together to start it in 2020 to showcase unique creations and offer one-of-a-kind, handmade and specialty items from 40+ local artists and artisan makers. The name was inspired by Leon Russell's "Hummingbird" song, which is appropriate since the Church Studio is a block away. You can find a wide array of items, from clothing and jewelry, to glasswork, mosaics, pottery, photographs, woodwork, and more. I found a really cute fall mini frame, bead earrings, and a sun catcher, all one of a kind, beautiful, and affordable. If you like a particular artist, they have all their cards at the register. They accept special requests and commissions, and are also able to ship. They display artwork from Tulsa Public School students and have special art events, and workshops. Follow them on Facebook for updates!

I visited the library after attending a block party rally event calling for more transparency in…read moretulsa courts by requiring camera placement in each courtroom and judge chambers. i decided to go in the library after the event in large part because of a previous court case i'd observed, in which a judge asked a party representing herself to provide copies of her piece of evidence, but because the court copy machine was not working, she had to go across the street to print copies from the library. and due to the potential postponement of a court date i surmise such a delay could engender, i'd decided to print a copy of the flyer i received promoting the event from the library printer, as i'd not used any copying machine at that library location since its remodeling. the print and copy station, located on the first floor, at about the middle of the room to the right, facing away from the main court adjacent entrance, was user friendly based on the experience i had. the copy machine charged 25 cents to print the flyer with color, and it would have been 10 cent if i were printing in black and white. further, the copy machine, located in the picture to the far left, includes instructions for how to use it, with the only confusion i'd experienced being which direction to face the document in the insert slot, so you might want to pay a lil closer attention to that aspect than others when printing a copy. lastly, having not visited the library for any significant amount of time since the installment of study rooms to the second floor, i got a close look into some of the several reservable glass enclosement quiet rooms overlooking downtown, a distinct feature among all library locations i've visited, in tulsa or otherwise.

I enjoyed the space, the staff was very hands-on & made sure things were going ok. I liked the greenroom where I was hanging out with the artists. All in all, good experience.

One side of the room, tickets were being handled while in the middle, you get your drinks & then you move over to the other side of the place, that's where all of the food vendors were at (all local & delicious). In the middle of it all, along with a really big staircase, there was a DJ. Upstairs (during Big Bite) there was an exhibition with all kind of art displays & art installations. There was a great view from up top, especially while I was checking out Tulsa Tough. An all day event that ended with a concert featuring Sports, a band that I listen to heavy. That was in 2023, fast forward to now, there was an exhibition I visited that was hosted by BZRO & it consisted of his denim work & the history of denim. There was even an element of where you can interact with a machine that does the weaving. It was interesting learning the process of making pants & how denim was centuries ago compared to present time.

Their staff has been in the building since 2021. They recently had a display honoring James Garner, an actor from Norman.
