family tree: Weekend Agenda // First Friday Art Crawl

Hi friends! Danielle here.

I don't know about you, but I love a new month. Especially a new month that promises a new season! A new month means new possibilities, new plans, new hope and, with this month, all those fun things that come along with Spring (aaaaaCHOoo!).

A new month also means a First Friday Art Crawl in the Brady District here in Tulsa. This month's event is scheduled for Friday, 6-9pm.

In the words of Stefan, this event has it all - glass blowing, wine, free gallery admission and sometimes even a knitted Batman suit.

It's an event that the whole family can enjoy - Last month, The Gathering Place brought along a sneak peek via their Park Pod (Jett really enjoyed it!), which I hear will be making an appearance on Friday, as well.

So, do it! If not just to get out an about and walk around the lovely Brady District for a bit. Last month was our first time to enjoy the art crawl, and we left wondering what took us so long to check it out.

Here are some photos from last month's art crawl:

To be honest, the first couple galleries we stopped in were nice, but they were quite crowded and a little difficult to maneuver through, especially with a stroller. But alas, we trekked on. And I'm glad we did, as the next stop was super cool: Tulsa Glassblowing School. First of all, they were in the middle of a demonstration, so that was exciting (FIRE!); Secondly, the space itself is fun/inspiring. Definitely stop by this Friday when you're making your way through the art crawl.

Here's a shot from inside the Park Pod which is called an "immersive multimedia experience" by the Tulsa World, that "gives visitors a panoramic view of plans for the expansive community park. The virtual tour of envisioned park spaces provides visitors a glimpse into the future as to what the park will look like once it is completed in late 2017."

You might notice a few people laying on the astro turf inside the Park Pod. We were chillin' in the bean bag chairs, taking in the panoramic views and Beatles tune. So psychedelic.
