A 20 year art tradition is lined up in support of the Tulsa Arts Coalition.

• Calling All Artists: The 5 x 5 Show and Sale features exquisite art on a 5×5 canvas. Months earlier, TAC gives any Tulsa artist who wants one a blank 5 x 5 canvas. They paint, collage, sculpt, embellish, or sketch on the canvas creating a tiny original work of art. Artists have ranged from iconic figures such as P.S. Gordon to beginning art students.

• Talented Tulsans: 100+ artists will be featured and each canvas is $55 regardless of the artist. The event happens at TAC Gallery at 9 E. Reconciliation Way. It naturally starts at 5:55p. It runs through May 18th. Tonight’s opening reception is free and open the public as part of the First Friday Art Crawl in the Tulsa Arts District.
