First Friday, Black Rodeo & A Red Dirt Boogie: The Week’s Best Tulsa Events, February 5-11

Welcome to Tulsa Picks, your weekly compilation of Tulsa's best food, arts and music events, as picked by us, the staff of The Pickup. Let's get to it!

Pick Of The Week

First Friday Art Crawl
Friday, February 7
6:00pm in the Tulsa Arts District (and beyond)

It's a great First Friday for art that makes you think. Scroll down for a handful of this month's exhibit openings, which range from relief paintings to unexpected sculpture to collages made from materials found around the world. The inspiration extends into First Saturday, too, with a Black History Month edition of Edison Studios' open studio sessions and a group show at Positive Space Tulsa.
