Art you ’ ll love to love

TULSA , Okla . – If you were stumped on a way to impress someone you want to bring into your future , or you ’ ve been woefully neglectful keeping that forever someone happy , we ’ ve got ideas on places you can go this February to impress , entertain or woo . Because art speaks to all of us ( and even if she hates it , she ’ ll think you ’ re deep ; don ’ t blow it ).
The Art Crawls are back and Tulsa ’ s is always something new . Organizers rotate the displays , shops stay open later than usual and you can check out many museums and galleries free of charge . There are plenty of dining and drink spots to try as well . February ’ s Art Crawl is Feb . 2 . ( thetulsaartsdistrict . org )
You can never go wrong at a Native American art fest ; there ’ s never any shortage of talent ( they ’ ve got kids ’ art that ’ s better than some adults
I know ), and some pieces will simply take your breath away .
The Greater Tulsa Indian Art Festival is more than static visual arts ; there are storytelling sessions , dancing demos , educational exhibits and food to enjoy . They also offer art demonstrations like weaving and beadwork taught by the experts themselves . It ’ s truly a feast for the senses and conveniently happening right

before V-day ( Feb . 9-11 ) at the Glenpool Conference Center . Tahlequan Jane Osti gets the spotlight at this year ’ s Fest and we hear her pottery is pretty spectacular . ( tulsaindianartfestival . com )
An art show that is just perfect for these parts is the NatureWorks Art Show & Sale , happening Feb . 24-25 at the Tulsa Renaissance Hotel & Convention Center in Tulsa .
Over 50 top wildlife , western and landscape artists and sculptors will have works to admire and purchase . But the best part is that many of the artists will be on hand to meet . ( natureworks . org )
Okay , I ’ m pretty psyched up for this one : The Tulsa Oddities & Curiosities Expo 2018 is happening Feb . 10-11 at the Bond Event Center , and if you ’ re a fan of the strange and unusual , you need to check out this Mall for the Morbid . This ain ’ t no Hot Topic or sterile shop stuff we ’ ve all seen a million times , it ’ s all rare and vintage oddities you may never see again , like entomological specimens , 1920s funeral home adverts , old books , art , animal bones , jewelry , it ’ s perfect for the punks out there who need something else . Go forth and be weird . ( facebook . com / events / 134344860619306 )
