The original Hex House was involved in a 1944 police investigation surrounding a small casket buried in the backyard of a Tulsa house and two young women who had been under hypnotic or occult control for seven years. The investigation was nicknamed the "Hex House" case since it had all the spooky elements of a Halloween story.

Now, The Hex House is back, ready to bring your most terrifying fears to life this Halloween season. Do not come to The Hex House if you expect movie scenes or goofy props.

In this episode, we're delving into the haunted past of Oklahoma, a state where eerie tales and mysterious specters seem to be as deeply rooted as the red soil itself. From its storied Wild West towns to its rich Native American heritage, Oklahoma's haunted lore reflects a blend of cultures and histories that have left an indelible mark on the land. We'll journey through haunted hotels that once housed notorious outlaws, eerie museums filled with artifacts of untold stories, and lonely backroads where the shadows of the past still linger. Get ready to uncover the supernatural secrets hidden within the plains, hills, and prairies of the Sooner State, as we explore five of Oklahoma's most spine-chilling locations. Featured Locations: The Skirvin Hotel 1 Park Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102 Beyond the infamous tale of Effie, guests often report the sensation of someone tugging on their bedcovers or catching a fleeting shadow in their peripheral vision, especially in the early hours of the morning.

The third-floor bedroom, once used by the Overholser children, is particularly active, with toys moving on their own and the faint sound of giggles echoing through the hallways. Cain's Ballroom 423 N Main St, Tulsa, OK 74103 The venue's ghostly activity often peaks during live shows, when both performers and audience members have reported cold gusts passing through the crowd and the smell of old cigar smoke lingering in the air.

I had Mark Rossi on my podcast today and we had a really wonderful talk. I've known Mark for almost 30 years and he's been in my gallery almost that long as well. He's known for his sculptures of animals. He's focused primarily on the animals of the Sonoran Desert, but because he's involved in so many museum collections as well as zoo collections, he's gotten to do a lot of exotic animals as well.If you're in the world-famous San Diego Zoo, you're going to see a Mark Rossi. If you're visiting the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum here in Tucson, you're going to see a Mark Rossi. The Houston Zoo, the Minnesota Zoo, and the Philadephia Zoo - all of these places have Mark's work. So it's fun to go and find out about his story, especially for his father,  Paul Rossi, who was a very well-known sculptor and painter and was the director of the Gilcrease Museum.We talk a lot about the Gilcrease, as well as Frank Waters, who was a novelist that wrote 26 different books on Hopi and Taos, and the foundation that Mark operates to preserve Frank's legacy. He was an important guy in the middle of the 20th century. This was a very interesting podcast with an individual that I've known for a very long time. It's so much fun for me when I get to crack the nut a little bit and see somebody that I've known in a new light. I got that today with Mark Rossi.

These are the newly-posted online Gilcrease collections: The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, Indigenous Paintings, and The Work of Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran.

Artist Willard Stone was born and raised in Oktaha, Oklahoma, and was best known for his wood sculptures carved in a flowing Art Deco style.Willard had an early interest in drawing and painting, but at the age of 13, he picked up a blasting cap he found while walking home from school, and it exploded. He lost his thumb and most of two fingers on his right hand. However, he became an accomplished sculptor and woodcarver. He took art classes at Bacone College, where he studied under Acee Blue Eagle and Woody Crumbo. Crumbo introduced Willard to Thomas Gilcrease, and in 1946 Gilcrease offered Stone an artist-in-residence position at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Stone, Crumbo, and Blue Eagle became the Oklahoma artists most closely identified with Gilcrease.After 1961, Willard opened a permanent studio in Locust Grove, Oklahoma, where he worked until his death in 1985. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1970. In addition to the large collection at Gilcrease Museum, his work is collected by many museums, including the Smithsonian. Stone's “Lady of Spring” was included in the 1997-98 White House art exhibition honoring Native America. The guide to the white house exhibition calls Stone “the unsung hero of Native America sculpture.”Willard's daughter Linda Stone Callery is our storyteller for this oral history interview which was recorded in the Willard Stone Museum, and you can hear it now on VoicesofOklahoma.com

Born in Oklahoma, Anita Fields is a contemporary Native American multi-disciplinary artist of Osage heritage. She is known for her works which combine clay and textile with Osage knowledge systems. Fields explores the intricacies of cultural influences at the intersections of balance and chaos found within our existence, explaining that “The power of transformation is realized by creating various forms of clothing, coverings, landscapes, and figures. The works become indicators of how we understand our surroundings and visualize our place within the world.” In this way, the early Osage concepts of duality, such as earth and sky, male and female, are represented throughout her work. Her sculptures have been featured in many solo and group exhibitions, including the 2020-2021 Weaving History Into Art; The Enduring Legacy of Shan Goshorn, Gilcrease Museum, Form and Relation: Contemporary Native Ceramics, Hood Museum, Dartmouth College, the 2018-2020 Hearts of Our People, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the 2018 Art for A New Understanding: Native Voices, 1950's to Now at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Her work was also included Who Stole the Teepee? at the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian, New York, and the 1997 Legacy of Generations: Pottery by American Indian Women at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington DC., Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Arkansas. Her work can be found in several collections, such as the Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian, the Museum of Art and Design, New York City, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and the Heard Museum, Arizona. Fields was a 2017-2019 fellow with the Kaiser Foundation Tulsa Artist Fellowship program and is currently a 2020-2023 Tulsa Artist Fellowship Integrated Arts Grant awardee. Fields was the invited artist for the 2021 Eiteljorg Museum of Contemporary Art Fellowship. Fields was recently named a 2021 National Endowment of the Arts Heritage Fellow and a 2021 Anonymous Was A Woman award. In 2022 she received a Francis J Greenburger award.

In 1830 the U.S. government implemented the Indian Removal Act, which led to the infamous Trail of Tears (1837-39), the removal or forced relocation of the Cherokee Nation. Thus, roughly 15,000 Cherokees were removed from their homes in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and other states under both U.S. military force and state militias. Despite these acts of genocide and the resulting criminalization of cultural traditions and lifeways, the Cherokee and so many other Indigenous peoples, have suffered greatly, persevered, thrived against all odds, and actively sought to preserve their lifeways, language and traditions. Today, the revitalization of ancestral ways which includes food, medicine, and the stories around them continues with the spirit of true sovereignty, dignity and pride. We're thrilled to have Nico Albert Williams (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma), founder and Executive Chef of Burning Cedar Indigenous Foods and Burning Cedar Sovereign Wellness joining us on the show today to share her personal and collective journey to revitalize culture, Indigenous foods and wellness through sovereignty.

She is also the Founder/Board President of Burning Cedar Sovereign Wellness [https://www.burningcedar.org/sovereignwellness], a nonprofit organization whose mission is to address socioeconomic disparities, health crises, and cultural disconnection affecting Indigenous communities by re-establishing ancestral foodways, birthing practices, and traditional medicine, while educating future generations of Indigenous cooks. Chef Nico's work has been featured by Cherokee Nation's OsiyoTV, Smithsonian National Museum, PBS, Gilcrease Museum, Philbrook Museum, BBC, and Food Network, among others.

New Years is a time of resolutions, so why not make yours to spend more time painting from life? The camera can (and often does) lie about color and value, so Bill Anton and Gabor emphasize the necessity of going outside to observe your surroundings first hand. We get it, painting from life is hard, and often times the outcome leaves your feeling disappointed. But if no hard work goes into producing your painting, what does that say about your level of commitment?

"The Legacy of Survival" is on view at Gilcrease Museum through June 19, 2021. 

Our guest on ST is Susan Neal, the Executive Director of Gilcrease Museum and the Helmerich Center for American Research here in Tulsa. Gilcrease Museum, as was recently announced, will be closing its doors at the end of its business day on July 4th. The museum's current structure will then be demolished, with construction of a new museum (on the same site) to follow. As Neal explains, construction of the new museum facility will begin in early 2022 and is expected to take 2 or 3 years. (More details are posted here .)

Episode 4 features brilliant curator, artist, and designer, Jordan Poorman Cocker(Kiowa/Tongan). In this episode, we hear from Jordan about how her culture and identity inform the work that she does as a Curatorial Scholar of Indigenous Art funded by the Henry Luce Foundation at the Gilcrease Museum.

Fire in LIttle Africa executive producer Stevie ‘Dr View' Johnson, Phd. chats with Greenwood Art Project Coordinator Jeff Van Hanken in a special Gilcrease Museum Facebook live event. In this dialogue they discuss the Greenwood Art Project and go in depth on the FILA album and recording sessions. Recorded 11/20/2020. You can watch the video version here.

I had John Coleman Cowboy Artist of America on the podcast today. John is just such a deep, interesting human being. John is one of the most successful artists of his generation but believe it or not, he didn't start out as an artist even though he knew he had this innate artistic talent inside him. John had to go through finding that artistic voice, which isn't an easy process. His earliest path was one of success as a business person, but it just wasn't the type of fulfillment he sought. Becoming a world-class sculptor and painter of Native American subject matter involved triumph and failure of many varieties, ultimately resulting in the man we get to hear from today.This podcast was an enlightening roadmap of perseverance. If you're an artist who says to themselves: "I don't know... I want to be an artist, but... do I have what it takes?" Well, maybe if you listen to this podcast, you'll see what it took for John to become the artist he is today. Quite frankly, it takes a lot of effort, but more than effort, it requires the emotional investment to transform into that particular version of yourself. John Coleman put it all together, and I'm glad he joined us to tell his story.

The early 20th century was an interesting time for Tulsa, Oklahoma. Fortunes were made and empires were built and torn down. One Tulsa oil baron of the early 20th century may have been viewed as a hero, but somehow he left a legacy of chilling hauntings behind. And our very own Diana may have encountered one of them.She shares her story on this special decaversary episode of Homespun Haints.For full show notes, visit https://homespunhaints.com/teleporting-with-toilets-or-how-we-found-trans-dimensional-portalsSupport the show (https://patreon.com/homespunhaints)

This conversation is with Laura Fry, Senior Curator and Curator of Art for the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  The discussion includes topics from "Did the Supreme Court really give eastern Oklahoma back to the native Americans?".....to what kids can teach us about art, the role painter Thomas Moran played in establishing our national park system, and the rare opportunity to plan a completely new museum.  And how a museum with the largest collection of American western art is a bit of a hidden gem.  Perhaps that will be changing with the construction and opening of an expansive new building. And more about the Museum from their web site...."Thomas Gilcrease, a citizen of the Muscogee Creek Nation, established Gilcrease Museum in 1949 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Today the interdisciplinary collection contains more than 350,000 items. The museum represents hundreds of Indigenous cultures from across North and South America, with material culture and archaeology ranging from 12,000 BCE to the 21st century. The collection includes more than 350 years of American paintings, sculptures and works on paper, including the largest public holdings of art of the American West."

I gave a docent tour at the Frist Art Museum this past Sunday of our current exhibition: Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists. It is a beautiful exhibition curated by the Minneapolis Institute of Art which will travel to the Smithsonian in Washington, DC and the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, OK after it closes here in Nashville next weekend. One piece stood out this past Sunday: Idiot Strings: The Things We Carry by Sonya Kelliher-Combs an Athabascan and Inupiat artist from Alaska. It is a series of goat and sheep hide pouches attached to strings, forming floating pockets. They cast shadows on the ground, creating an ethereal effect. The piece is, in part, the artist’s response to the suicides of three of her relatives. The strings invoke “the idea of tethering,” she said, “to not forget about these people.” I talked with my tour group about the empty pouches and how they represent the burdens that we carry with us that we need to empty out from our lives. We have all been harmed in some way whether it is discrimination, relationship difficulties, or being slighted. It may be physical, emotional or spiritual harm, but we have all experienced the difficulties that life brings us. But which are the ones that we should no longer emotionally carry, not forgetting that they ever happened, but instead recognizing that they make up our past, but they don’t need to harm our future?My tour group also talked about how our movement and our breath influences the swaying of the empty pouches. Representing how intertwined we are with each other and how we can either provide comfort and nourishment, or tear down others with our words and actions.And the idiot strings? They are a reference to the string where a small child’s mittens are attached so they don’t get lost. In Alaska, it is important to not lose your mittens! But the emotional scars that we have, they don’t need to be a burden forever.Here’s a 1:19 minute video of the installation at another museum in Norway of Idiot Strings: https://youtu.be/WqkL2faAHmI I plan to carry this image with me through my next week.What burdens are you carrying? Or what can you do to relieve the burdens in others?Blessings, my friend,Agatha

You’re listening to Tulsa Talks, a TulsaPeople Podcast, episode 10. I’m your host, Anna Bennett. This episode is brought to you by Gilcrease Museum, presenting the exhibit Americans All! On this season one finale, I talk with Mazen Abufadil, an artist, educator and immigrant, whose work is currently featured at the Gilcrease Museum.Plus, Jerry Wofford takes a look back at the best musical moments of 2018. There are two things I notice immediately about Mazen Abufadil — he’s got a quiet voice, and a curious mind. After finishing the interview and leaving the office, he was back moments later to share an observation he’d has while looking at a nearby sycamore tree, just to make sure I knew his updated viewpoint; event though the mics were off.But that’s just who Mazen is — an educator, as much as an artist, one who’s generous with his time and knowledge. His unflappable patience, no doubt a boon in the classroom at Holland Hall, is honed by raising four children of his own.Mazen was born in Lebanon, and spent his earliest years in Beirut. But life changed forever for Mazen and his family in the late 1970s. The Lebanese Civil war broke out, bringing with it years of violent conflict. Mazen’s family fled to the United States. He shared his recollections of arriving in Tulsa during our interview.Thanks for listening to Tulsa Talks! We’ve had a blast bringing you Season One; it’s been an adventure and a labor of love for all of us. And, I’m thrilled to announce that Season Two begins on January 2nd, and we’ve got some super awesome guests on the roster that I can’t tell you about yet, but that you’re going to love. If you’ve enjoyed this podcast, then all we want for Christmas is a rating, review, subscription or share — we’d love to find some positive feedback in our stockings.Every episode, we play you out with some local music. In the spirit of the season, today’s selection is “Hey Skinny Santa” from JD McPherson’s new Christmas album, “Socks.”To purchase and find upcoming tour dates, visit JDMcPherson.com.Original music by The Earslips, recorded and mixed by Mike Gilliland at Auggy Reed Studios.

This is the third episode in our new series of things we didn’t know about certain colleges--or about higher education generally. But today, we are actually going to talk about some new data out about high schools because those data have implications for college-going, I believe. To be fair, I already knew a lot about today’s topic, but I did not know the data we are going to share with you now--and I think the situation is really very troubling. 1. A Look Back at Foreign Languages Last August, we took a look at this topic, but I would like to reprise it today. The topic is the study of foreign languages in U.S. high schools. Those of you who are regular listeners know how important I think this topic is, probably stemming from my work a couple of decades ago with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages on a nationwide study of foreign language teaching in elementary and secondary schools and on the writing of a book of exemplary foreign language programs.   Let me repeat here a few alarming statistics from an Education Week article last June by Corey Mitchell: The American Councils for International Education estimates that 10.6 million K-12 U.S. students study a world language or American Sign Language. That sounds like a lot of students, but it is actually just 20 percent of American students. Fewer than 10 percent of students in at least two states study a language other than English. Arabic is the fastest-growing second language among U.S. residents, but only 0.25 percent of American students who study a foreign language study Arabic in school. Less than 1 percent of American students who study a foreign language are studying either Russian or Japanese, two languages that seem relatively important these days politically and/or economically. Only 11 states require credits in foreign languages in order to graduate from high school. Some of those numbers actually make me want to weep. 2. The Story in Oklahoma So, imagine my dismay when I read a recent article in the Education Week Curriculum Matters blog by Stephen Sawchuk, who opened with this sad news: In just a decade, a fourth of Oklahoma’s high schools eliminated their world language courses, the investigative reporting site Oklahoma Watch reports in a fascinating new story. Overall, a third of [Oklahoma] high schools lack a course in even one foreign language. It’s a compelling piece of education data made bleaker by the fact that the decline in foreign language in Oklahoma probably has parallels in other states…. What’s more, reporter Jennifer Palmer found, the declines are both in the “level II” instruction (usually given in sophomore year), and even more catastrophically in year III or advanced classes, such as AP courses. Having such a class can be a deciding factor in application decisions at elite colleges. Not all schools are equally affected, she notes: Rural schools bore the brunt of the cuts, likely because they weren’t able to get teachers to fill the spots. (quoted from the article) Well, there is a lot to talk about there, thanks to Mr. Sawchuk. First, let’s consider the fact that, in the past 10 years, one-quarter of all Oklahoma high schools stopped offering foreign languages, and now one-third of all Oklahoma high schools do not offer any. Frankly, I cannot imagine a high school that offers no foreign language courses--not just because foreign languages can be important for college admissions, but because they are even more important for living in a global society, for understanding cultures other than our own, and perhaps eventually for working in another country or for working with people in another country doing business with American businesses. Kids who are going to college will have another chance to study a language; kids who don’t go to college won’t. High school is their last chance. Second, the decline worsens as the courses get more advanced. No surprise there, and that’s undoubtedly always been true. Clearly, fewer and fewer kids take foreign languages as the courses get more advanced, and that goes for all languages and all states and all school districts. Many schools no longer offer a fourth year of a language, and too many also don’t offer the third year of a language. And yes, elite colleges do still look at the depth of a student’s foreign language study, hoping for at least three years of study in one language. But again, three or four years of language study is not important just for college admissions. They are important because two years of language study is not nearly enough to make students even marginally proficient in a language, as I learned when working with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. The truth is that kids struggle mightily after even three and four years of high school study, but two years just is not enough. Even knowing that, colleges will sometimes look kindly enough on two years of each of two different languages instead of three years of one (especially if your high school does not offer three years of one). But offering two languages must seem like an idea from outer space to high schools in Oklahoma and elsewhere that can’t offer even one year of one language. And third, of course, rural schools in Oklahoma were most often affected--not only because of the difficulty of recruiting foreign language teachers, but also because of the difficulty of filling courses often considered as elective courses in high schools with small enrollments. I don’t have some snappy solution for that. Online instruction is the solution that is probably used most often. I have seen it, and I am not overly impressed. Is it better than no foreign language instruction? Yes, it is--at least for meeting state high school graduation requirements and college admission requirements.  3. What You Must Do I am working with a rural school district right now, and we are getting ready to look at the high school curriculum offerings. I am anxious to see how we will solve the problem of offering good foreign language instruction, but I believe that it is a problem worth solving. And I believe that, if parents allow their voices to be heard in that school district, we will have to try harder to solve it. Fortunately, I will be there to speak on behalf of those parents, but I can’t be everywhere. So, parents, you are going to have to speak up for yourselves and your own kids. That is especially true if your kid attends a rural school--though, by the way, not all urban and suburban schools do a good job of offering foreign languages, either. And I am not just picking on Oklahoma. I love Oklahoma and have actually done a lot of work in Oklahoma. In fact, it is home to one of my favorite museums and museum gift shops in the U.S. Here is a plug for that truly beautiful facility, quoted from its own website:  The Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, commonly known as Gilcrease Museum, located in Tulsa, Okla., is one of the country’s best facilities for the preservation and study of American art and history. The museum houses the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of art and artifacts of the American West, including an unparalleled collection of Native American art and material. As the early statistics we quoted said, 39 states do not require foreign language study for high school graduation and (probably as a sad consequence) only 20 percent of U.S. students study a foreign language or American Sign Language. This is not an Oklahoma problem.  But this is not just a state problem, either. In many schools that do offer foreign languages, kids are not taking them. And they certainly aren’t taking three or four years of one language. So, parents, that is where you come in, and I am hoping it will be easier for you to influence your own kid than to try to influence an entire school district. Convince your kid to take four years of a foreign language in high school (assuming that your high school makes four years available and, if not, encourage your kid to take three years or, as a last resort, to take two years of one language and two years of another language). We have said in many other episodes how important it is to show a college that a student has taken a rigorous set of high school courses--indeed, the most rigorous set of courses that the high school makes available. Usually, that is translated into taking four years of math and four years of science, especially when those four years can include calculus and physics. But, for some students--and your kid might be one of them--four years of a foreign language might be a lot more attainable than calculus. I understand that the recent push for STEM instruction nationwide is one more thing that might drive out foreign language instruction in high schools. As a matter of fact, the STEM high school that we co-founded almost 10 years ago faced that problem of how to offer foreign language courses and how to get them into the students’ already jam-packed Early College schedule that focused on engineering and architecture. But at least we had a New York State requirement for foreign language study for high school graduation, so we had to solve the problem. In the final analysis, parents, not convincing your kid to take three or four years of a foreign language is what causes schools to stop offering them and teachers to stop training to teach them. It is a vicious cycle. So, keep your kid in foreign language courses not just to get your kid into college; do it for a lot of other great reasons, too. As I said in our episode last August, I—with my four years of high school Latin and my three years of high school French--will now get off my soapbox. (And, yes, I took both languages in college, too.) Find our books on Amazon!
