Don’t miss April’s edition of the First Friday Art Crawl at 101 Archer!
Before the Art Crawl begins, join us at 101 Archer a bit earlier at 5 p.m. for a gallery talk with Anitra Lavanhar. This is a rare opportunity to hear all about current south gallery exhibit, Envisioning Tomorrow, directly from the photographer herself.
The Art Crawl will then officially start at 6 p.m. and we’re super excited to feature The University of Tulsa’s very own FOCUS Jazz Combo as our free live entertainment for the evening! We can’t wait to see you all there.
UTulsa Jazz will play host to the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music Jazz Orchestra and Frost Extensions, a vocal jazz ensemble. They will be joined in concert by the UTulsa FOCUS jazz combo.
