The Pickup's arts and culture coverage is sponsored by Brut Hotel. Set the tone for Valentine’s Day with a rooftop prix fixe dinner at Soma, unwind with spa offerings at 1820 Spa, and stay the night in one of Tulsa's most thoughtfully designed rooms.
We’re not saying that art is going to save us. But maybe we are? One thing's for sure: gathering with your neighbors around tangible expressions of joy, vulnerability, innovation, history, and reflection is a really good way to build a community web that can withstand the toughest times.
As this month's massive list attests, Tulsa's artists and curators are working. Here’s everything that's coming up—including First Friday openings in the Arts District on February 6—so you can get out and find your creative connections this month.
