ARTSOK, the Regional Arts Alliance of Broken Arrow, will present the Art After Hours exhibition “Gods and Fools” by Micheal Jones on Thursday, Oct. 13, at 5:30 p.m., at The Loft over Main Street Tavern in the Rose District. It is the first time many of these works have been viewed. “After spending a month in Italy last year studying the great nude paintings of mythological figures rendered in the style of the age in which they were painted,  I wondered,’“How could I portray those ancient personalities now, in a contemporary setting?’” said Jones. Upon his return to the United States, he set about creating the “Gods and Fools” collection, using young models in a contemporary setting, putting a modern twist on the old subjects. “I depicted the models as they are, with tattoos, scars etc. with contemporary props and settings,” said Jones. Some of the subjects include a modern day Bacchus with a beer, and Hades in a swing with a cigarette and a glaring rude gesture. Endymion lies in eternal sleep covered by the “wedding ring” quilt made by his grandmother.  Flora rests on a nice bed with an embroidered coverlet while Pandora contorts with curiosity as she opens the famed box of ills. While they are no more “nude” than the figures in Caravaggio’s masterpieces, in modern times, they evoke a slightly erotic feeling. Viewer discretion is advised. “I have painted all these works in acrylic on canvas, using a technique I like to call ‘contemporary realism,’ with all the freshness and spontaneity of my modern technique,” said Jones. Art After Hours is sponsored by The Arrow Group. For additional information, please call 918-629-6426.

‘Chalk It Up!’ An Art Festival!

The Broken Arrow Arts and Humanities Council and The City of Broken Arrow will be presenting the 5th annual, “Chalk It Up!” An Art Festival.

This festival begins on Friday, September 9th from 7pm-12am and continues on Saturday, September 10th from 7am-5pm. This is a family event and is free and open to the public. It will take place on Main Street in Broken Arrow; directly in the middle of the Rose District!

Artists that register to compete will have a 10’ x 10’ sectioned-off space between Dallas and Broadway, on Main Street, to let their imaginations run wild. They have the opportunity to begin their creative masterpiece on Friday evening and complete the design Saturday during the main event. Main Street will be full of color and gallery quality artwork by 2pm Saturday!


Three different age groups; from 6 years of age to adult, will have an opportunity to compete in five different categories. The available categories are Masters, Animation, 3D, Original and Artist Choice. In addition, the competitors will have an opportunity to win Best of Show and the public can cast their vote for their favorite artist to declare a winner for the People’s Choice Award. This makes a total of 17 winners possible! (That is $1,150 in cash divided between 17 winners.)

The cost for an artist to register and compete is $35. Competing artists receive a festival T-shirt, chalk, water, lunch vouchers and gift bags from local Main Street business owners. Event judges will begin voting at 2p.m. The community will start voting for the People’s Choice Award at the same time. Winners will be announced and prizes awarded by 4:30pm.

Variety of artists: Local Artists Competing (from 6-74 years old), Local Art Vendors (from stone carving to original paintings), Local Musicians (we will have 3 stages with 7 bands), and performance artists throughout the event (living statues, hoopers, jugglers, unicyclist, stilt walkers and more).

Main Street businesses: Restaurants are passing out free samples, gift shops are donating prizes to be given away during the event, the unique shops are having indoor specials and each competitor is given a goodie bag that has amazing items donated from the businesses.

Tuesdays in the Park - The Fabulous Midlife Crisis Band

The Broken Arrow Arts and Humanities Council presents the Tuesdays in the Park concert series.  Every Tuesday in June this fun-filled event provides great music with different bands and different music genres each year at Broken Arrow’s Central Park.  Come enjoy the local food vendors, bring your lawn chair and enjoy music as Broken Arrow welcomes you into their backyard in this beautiful park setting.

Beginning in 1995, it took almost thirty years and major careers in between before five Tulsa area musicians began rehearsing what has become one of the most successful acts in Northeast Oklahoma!


The band’s fun-loving classic Rock and Roll performances bring out the foot-tapping in the audience, if not the outright dancing. They clearly love to share the music.
