Opens Friday, June 6
A group of black artists took up the challenge of exploring African-American identity as it stands in Oklahoma today. The result is an inspired collection of work demonstrating a diversity of experience within a culture that had endured negative stereotypes for generations in America. Noir, curated by Nathan Lee, features the work of 14 Oklahoma artists exhibiting their vision of African-American culture as they know it through video, photography, painting and other media. Living Arts of Tulsa, 307 E. Brady St., opens Noir at 6-9 p.m. Friday, June 6, in the Myers Gallery. The pre-opening discussion will be at 5:45 p.m., and the exhibition will continue through June 26.
