Home Suite Home. Printmaking is a subtle art that captures not only the artist's original intent, but also the minute differences and aberrations caused by the process of replication. "Suite Oklahoma II," curated by Adrienne Day, charts the current work of 18 different contemporary Oklahoma printmakers. The exhibit, at the Tulsa Artists' Coalition Gallery, 9 E. Brady, is an exchange portfolio, in which each artist receives a portfolio with a print from each of the other participating artists. A variety of methods are represented, from intaglio to relief, serigraphy and lithography. Solar plate, collage, monotype and sewing are also incorporated into a number of pieces. Stop by through July 26 from 6-9pm, Thurs.-Sat. Call 592-0041 for more.

Fab Faux. It is rare to meet someone who has actually had the privilege of seeing one of the most influential bands of all time. Now you may finally get your chance to see The Beatles, well sorta, thanks to tonight's show 1964...The Tribute at the Tulsa PAC, 110 E. 2nd St. While it isn't the same, 1964 comes dang close and is widely considered the best Beatles cover band around. In fact, they are the only band legally allowed to pretend to be The Beatles. Get your lighters ready and check out the show. Call 596-711 or visit tulsapac.com for more information.

Bowl a 300 for Rhinos. Wouldn't it be nice to go bowling with the knowledge that you were doing more than just earning turkeys and drinking beers?

Head to Mickey's Bowling Alley at Eastland Mall, 14002 E. 21 St., to register and the bowling starts at 6pm.
