Opens Sunday, Jan. 11

Prints by American artist James Whistler and his contemporaries in original etchings are the focus of a new exhibit opening Sunday, Jan. 11, at Philbrook Museum of Art. Whistler and the British Etching Revival looks at the art form, which experienced a resurgence of interest in the late 1800s because of work by Whistler, Francis Seymour Haden and others. Largely relegated to a subordinate process for the purpose of reproducing painted images, etching had lost favor with some artists and their patrons by the time Whistler came along. Interest in past etchings, however, brought Whistler and his contemporaries to a new understanding of the discipline, which translated into expressive compositions that gained artists an international reputation. The exhibit continues at 2727 S. Rockford Road, Tulsa, through April 5. Philbrook curator Sarah Lees is scheduled to hold a gallery talk on the exhibit on Jan. 14 at noon.

Begins Tuesday, Jan. 13

There’s nothing small about midget car racing’s biggest event. The Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals is back for the 29th lap and another spectacular year of racing. The fun begins Tuesday, Jan. 13, in the RiverSpirit Expo at Expo Square, 4145 E. 21st St. Bringing thousands of drivers and fans to town, the Chili Bowl also draws professional race car drivers from other classes, including NASCAR, to the dirt track. Midget race cars may be little compared to the stock cars rounding the Sprint Cup, but with most packing at least a four-cylinder engine, midget cars get around fast. The event continues through Saturday, Jan. 17, and will include several other events – the Chili Bowl tradeshow, open throughout the nationals, and the National Midget Auto Racing Hal of Fame Induction Luncheon on Friday, Jan. 16. Fans can also check out the RC Chili Bowl, running concurrent with the nationals and featuring stout, remote-controlled cars in the Mustang Arena at Expo Square. For more, visit www.exposquare.com.
