That "3D" sculpture is beyound cool! The picture of it completed just doesn't do it justice as to what I imagine it looks like in person.

   Want to go ahead and post this here.  The Tulsa Art Deco Museum will be open on Fridays from 11am-6pm starting March 30th.  Same hours as the Deco Districts pop-up shops also in the Philcade, along with Mods Coffee and Crepes.  So drop on by and take a gander as we continue to add new displays and Art Deco artifacts, and build up to our "Phase 1" Grand Opening that will happen during this years Mayfest!

   Well we are working on new displays in the museum, one right now is the Movie Theater, in order to get ready for our "Phase 1, Grand Opening" during Mayfest.  

Someone on here once volunteered to perhaps help us with a neon sign, but I have lost track of who that was and their contact info.  Please send me an IM or if anyone else remembers who that was let me know, and I will keep hunting for the info, surely I have it some where.  

Also, a special thanks to Colin who donated some art deco light fixtures that we are going to use on the inside part of the theater, and to Hoss who donated an 8foot antenna dish which is now going to magically be transformed into a domed ceiling inside the theater.  

 Thanks to everyone who is helping out, its much appreciated!  


 Remember, we are not a "big money" group but are made up of just regular folk joining together to try and make something great.  If you wish to be involved with getting the Tulsa Art Deco Museum up and running, contact me on here or go to www.TulsaArtDecoMuseum.com and to the "contact us" link.   We weren't quite ready for many volunteers early on, but now that we have taken this step to open our first space, we can use all kinds of help, both large and small, and we now have a system in place to keep track of who can do what, etc.  So if interested, check out the volunteer page on the website (very bottom link on the home page) which we will be adding a form to shortly, and shoot us your contact info.

Well, we are working towards having lots of new exhibits and displays for Mayfest,  and things are starting to fall into place.  Just in the nick of time lol.   There is one little thing we are working towards that you at TN can help us with.  We are shooting to raise $1,000 from now through Mayfest via small $5 and $10 donations.   You can go to the home page here   www.TulsaArtDecoMuseum.com  and here...  http://decopolis.net/dollarsfordeco.html  to chip in via paypal, no paypal acct. necessary.


Thanks So Much for your support!

I hope sending a check via the Arts and Humanities Council of Tulsa still works.

Sending a check is my preferred way to donate.

I hadn't been inside the Philcade building for a month or two, and I was amazed at the progress!  Awesome window displays all around, with a lot more content than I'd seen before.  It really shines a spotlight on various elements of Deco design.  Nice blending of art and artifacts.  I love the household items that are sleek works of art/industrial design.  William and his gang of Deco dreamers have created something special.  Nice job!
