The Hopi Indians come from the southwestern U.S., but their works of art will be on display starting Friday, June 28, through Sunday, Sept. 15. The Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, 555 Elm Ave., on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman will host the exhibition Hopituy: Hopi Art from the Permanent Collections. Katsina figures (not “dolls,” as they have been mistakenly called) are handcrafted objects representative of the deities of the Hopi culture and ceremonial dancers honoring them; and this collection shows 170 objects in woodcarving, basketry and painting relating to the deities and the katsina dancers. Different media, such as wood figures, paintings and ceramics, will be highlighted. Admission into the museum is free. Friday hours for the exhibition are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. To read more about the exhibition and see the museum’s weekly hours, visit www.ou.edu/fjjma.

The Dodgebrawl Challenge returns to Tulsa after a successful 2012 debut. The BOK Center, 200 S. Denver Ave., Tulsa, hosts a not-so-average dodgeball tournament on Saturday, June 29. Last year, more than 50 teams participated in this fun event, and tournament coordinators look to top that number this year with more teams, video displays, and unique lighting. Teams with six members will enter a double elimination tournament. The top three teams win prizes for their chosen charities. Awards will also be given to the teams with the best name and most “original” uniform. Registration is closed, but spectators can come out as players (who have undoubtedly seen the 2004 comedy movie DodgeBall) ruminate on Patches O’Houlihan’s five rules of the game: “Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!” Admission is free. Tournament begins at 11 a.m. To learn more, visit www.bokcenter.com.

Wayne White is best known as the creative butter behind the zany characters on the hit children’s show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, but the illustrator/cartoonist/animator/puppet designer has long since become known also for his esoteric vision and artwork. The Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch Drive, shares a bit of the eccentric and fascinating White with the exhibit Halo Amok, a cubist-inspired rodeo made of large-scale cowboy, pony and bovine-like puppets – moveable sculptures made from wood, cardboard, glue and other common materials. In White’s hands, the ordinary turns fun and stare-worthy. You won’t find any “do not touch” signs here: Visitors get to control the three puppet figures with a tug of the ropes. Halo Amok is the sixth installment of OKCMOA’s New Frontiers Series for Contemporary Art and remains on exhibit through Sept. 1. Visit www.okcmoa.com for a schedule of related programs booked for August (including a live performance by White titled Yer Supposed to Act All Impressed on Aug. 29). OKCMOA hours are 10-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday (open until 9 p.m. Thursday) and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free for museum members and $5-$12 for others.

The power of art lies in its ability to evolve into new genres and techniques. The worlds of art and technology have combined for years to give birth to fresh styles, and 3D printmaking is one of their creations.

Artpace at Untitled, a nonprofit organization for the arts in Oklahoma City, hosts the 3D printmaking exhibition [Un]bound. University of Oklahoma printmaking instructor, Curtis Jones, organizes the exhibition using the gallery to explore his own works as well as the works of Laura Berman, Tim Dooley, Emily Arthur Douglas and many more talented artists.

Museum admission is free and hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. For more, visit www.artspaceatuntitled.org.
