The Pickup's Culture coverage is brought to you by Tulsa Artists' Coalition Gallery, 40 Years of Empowering Tulsa Artists. Visit TAC Gallery's 5x5 Show and Sale, running from May 1-May 16.
It's odd to imagine a May without a downtown Mayfest, but here we are: thanks to its leadership changing hands, Tulsa's preeminent art festival will be spread around through the Route 66 Centennial celebrations instead of concentrated into one weekend. That leaves plenty of room in the Arts District and elsewhere for you to take in some things you've been missing. Pack a picnic and plan your gallery outings and cute dates with our handy guide, which includes May First Friday events as well as exhibits, talks, and live art experiences coming throughout the month. —Alicia Chesser
