Reuse, Recycle, Renew. Price Tower Arts Center in Bartlesville begins a conversation through art about the environmental impact of today's society. Opening today, "Imaginative Qualities of Actual Things" explores the new world of object reassignment. From repurposed puzzle pieces on wallpaper to oversized photographs showing the massive disposal of cell phones, the exhibition addresses the serious environmental issues the world is facing in a playful, inventive way. The works fascinate viewers by the creative transformation of common objects such as audio tapes, floppy disks, water bottles, newspapers, old clothes, and more. The exhibit ends January 6. Visit pricetower.org for more information.

Tuesday 8.26

Walking on Sunshine. Things got a little crazy in the '70s. The film Man on Wire, playing now at the Circle Cinema, 10 S. Lewis, chronicles the daring, and potentially deadly, stunt that Frenchman Philippe Petit pulled on August 7, 1974. Petit took leap of faith and walked (and danced) his way across a wire illegally setup between the World Trade Center towers, then the tallest buildings in the world. Petit was of course arrested for his 1,350 foot feat and subjected to a mental evaluation. You can't blame the authorities on that last count. Call 585-3456 or visit circlecinema.com for more information.

Wednesday 8.27

The Man, The Legend. Tulsa has hosted some pretty big acts in it's time but you won't find a more famous or more influential performer, song writer and singer than Bob Dylan. Dylan's songs come from a place of philosophical rumination, political reflection, social commentary and poetic story telling. Don't miss your chance to see this legend perform in our own backyard at the Brady Theater, 105 W. Brady St. Call 582-7239 or visit bradytheater.com for more information.

Thursday 8.28

Beauty is Pain. Most women can attest to sore achy feet after an evening spent walking in high heels. How about wearing a dress that's so tight you can hardly breathe or eat? After 20 years working with fashion advertising in New York, Gloria Hammer knows these things all too well. Today, with her exhibit "Monsters in My Closet," Hammer illustrates the pain women endure to appear fashionable. The exhibit is on display for only a few days more at the Tulsa Artists Coalition Gallery, 9 E. Brady. Visit tacgallery.org or call 592-0041 to make an appointment to drop by.
