Positive Space Tulsa is located at 1324 East 3rd Street in the Pearl District. Positive Space Tulsa was founded by local artist Nicole Finley (she/her). An art space dedicated to Womxn artists - the first and only in Oklahoma - Positive Space Tulsa believes: The letter “x” in Womxn recognizes all women, including gender expansive identities. Positive Space Tulsa is for women, nonbinary, genderfluid, genderqueer, and agender artists (excluding those who identify as male/men). Womxn is pronounced the same as woman or women. Audiences should be aware that any personal views and opinions of artists and collaborators, expressed online or elsewhere, are distinct from Positive Space Tulsa’s program, and do not necessarily represent the official position of the organization.

“Insects are necessary for life as we know it to continue on this planet. They feed many species and pollinate the plants which then feed larger life and so on and so forth. Nothing works without them.

"In the past decade, studies have shown a significant decline in flying insect populations. This is due in large part to habitat loss and commercial insecticides. I don’t know why this isn’t discussed openly by politicians and citizens alike.

"All these bird species rely on insects to live. And so do we." - Zia Daugherty

Lauren has performed at the University of Oklahoma, Factory Obscura, The Medium, Moonbeam Conservatory, Opolis, the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, and other regional venues, as well as internationally in Coswig Anhalt and Berlin, Germany.

“These [oil on panel cut-outs] are all endangered birds of North America. Most of us won’t see them in person in our lifetime. But these birds aren’t gone. Not yet. They deserve to be here. Efforts are still being made to protect them.” - Zia Daugherty

PORTAL by Viola Bloom, FINAL WEEK ON VIEW + CLOSING RECEPTION 5-8PM FRI SEPT 25.

“This is a fantastical self-portrait inspired by my emergence from the wildfire. My ‘garment’ was created in part using actual pieces of debris from the fire site. My ‘collar’ was once the rim of a plant pot, and my ‘bracelet’ was the handle of a ceramic item in my kitchen. The vintage fox fur hat, purchased at the City Opera Thrift Store in New York, was one of only two items from my wardrobe, besides the clothes on my back, that survived. It happened to be in a different location on the day of the fire.” - Viola Bloom
