An eagerly awaited cultural phenomenon, the Route 66 Art Crawl, is set to resume its annual cycle in 2025. This vibrant celebration of art and community will commence with a special opening event on April 11, spanning from early evening to nightfall in Tulsa's Red Fork district. During this occasion, visitors can immerse themselves in a variety of artistic expressions, including visual displays, live performances, and interactive vendor booths, all while fostering connections with small local enterprises.

This event not only highlights artistic talent but also fosters inclusiveness by welcoming families and pets. Alongside complimentary parking, various establishments along the Route 66 stretch will remain operational during the crawl, offering distinctive activities and promotional deals. Notable attractions include creative workshops at Agitsi Stained Glass and commemorative ceremonies at Rt66 Weddings. Furthermore, attendees can engage directly with celebrated local painter Josh Stout at his personal gallery and explore novel additions like Smokey’s Motorcycle Museum or the whimsical Route 66 Wishing Well.

Established in 2020, the Route 66 Art Crawl has become a cornerstone for nurturing creativity within the community. Artists are invited to present their creations free of charge, thus encouraging both emerging and seasoned talents to participate actively. For the inaugural event of the season, the Art Emporium 66 Warehouse will act as a central hub where diverse artistic works can be showcased. Enhanced by lively music and festive face painting, the atmosphere promises to be both engaging and spirited. Join this communal tribute to Tulsan ingenuity and enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with artistry, harmony, and joyous interaction.
