| 1 | VideoBroken Statue | OK Star Trek | THE BROKEN STATUE, An Oklahoma Production The world premiere of a pure Oklahoma production shines a spotlight on one of this state’s most mysterious women, Lydie Marland. The second wife of Oklahoma oilman and Governor E.W. Marland first captured the curiosity of her hometown, Ponca City and of the state when she married Marland, the man who had been her step-father. Then she captured the attention of a nation when she disappeared for 22 years. Hers is a story of wealth and loss, of love and despair, of hope and of grace. It is a story that is finally being told 14 years after Lydie Marland’s death. Join Gallery as we meet the author of a book about Lydie’s life, “The Broken Statue” and see the characters in that book brought to life by Oklahoma actors on the state’s premier community stage, the Jewel Box Theatre. Gallery in November is a story within a story to showcase a years long effort to unearth the life of an Oklahoma woman who wanted nothing more than to disappear. It is the story of “The Broken Statue”. OKLAHOMA STAR TREK He’s explored strange new worlds, sought out new life and new civilizations and has boldly gone where few Oklahomans have gone before and in November, you’ll get to meet him on Gallery. In the late 60’s Oklahoman Russell Bates met Star Trek creator, Gene Roddenberry at a Writer’s Guild Conference. That meeting would chart the course of his writing life. Bates was asked to write for the new Star Trek animated series where he won a National Emmy Award and a Peabody Award for Best Writing in an Animated Series. The episode he wrote titled, “Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth” that garnered such accolades encompassed his heritage, placing the first Native American crew member on the Star Ship Enterprise. Join Gallery in November for our Oklahoma Trek to Anadarko to meet Russell Bates, an esteemed writer who is still moving at Mach speed. | 11/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | VideoDon Cook | Tom Lee | SHOOTING FROM THE HIP He is drawn to a face that tells a story. He is drawn to light that reveals the shadows of a crease. He is drawn to the moment when the shadow and light dancing over a face perfectly align, the split second when all is revealed. J. Don Cook is one of Oklahoma’s most lauded photojournalists, capturing poignant images in black and white that do more than snare the interest, they speak to the heart and mind of the soul you can see in a face. Join Gallery in October as we meet the man behind the lens and take a look at his latest project, a newly published collection of his work called “Shooting from the Hip”. WRITING WITH LIGHT Tom Lee was one of Oklahoma’s premier photographers, perhaps one of the best known in the state. His images stirred more than the heart and the mind and he did it all while confined to a wheelchair. This photographer’s body of work is now complete. Lee passed away in 2010, but his art and his story live on. A fine art photographer, traditional black and white silver-based film and paper were Lee’s medium of choice. His art can be found in many public and private collections throughout the United States and through the course of his 25 years as an artist, Lee won several awards and accolades. This October, Gallery remembers Tom Lee, “Writing With Light”. | 9/29/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

BOMBS AWAY Inspired by comic books, Oklahoma artist Dustin Oswald breathes a new philosophy into his original works.

The soil that nurtures those roots…a belief in the sacrament and respect of living beings and of humanity. In May, Gallery takes viewers into the heart of one man’s interpretation of violence against nature and self, his view on the fragility of life and his philosophy that we should all engage in every moment that is given to us. | 5/5/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 8 | VideoThe Mary Rose | She was the flagship of a new warring naval fleet commissioned by King Henry VIII. The Mary Rose, the first ship built that was able to fire broadside, set sail to protect England in 1512. After serving 33 years in several wars against France, Scotland and Brittany she saw her last action on July 19, 1545. While leading an attack on the galleys of a French invasion fleet, The Mary Rose sank, but after four centuries of resting at the bottom of the ocean, on October 11, 1982, she was recovered and returned to her home port. Thirty years later, far across the sea, two American musicians in Oklahoma pay homage to The Mary Rose with a complete symphony to tell her story. The music so captivated the British who worked for decades to reclaim and restore the lost vessel that they took their own voyage across the sea just to hear The Song of The Mary Rose. | 2/24/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
