Art in the Square turns 30 at Utica Square on Saturday
Saturday, Oct. 3, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. at Utica Square. Tulsa Today says more than 90 artists and free admission; TravelOK lists more than 100.
Midtown’s outdoor art day is Saturday.
Art in the Square marks its 30th year on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Utica Square. TravelOK lists the address as 1709 Utica Square, Tulsa, OK 74114. Tulsa Today says the event is free and open to the public. The Tulsa Flyer puts that same Saturday window on a walk through work from more than 90 local artists.
The two listings count the lineup differently. Tulsa Today, in a piece that quotes property manager Cassandra Montray, says more than 90 artists. TravelOK’s listing says more than 100, working in watercolor, oil, stained glass, pottery, sculpture, woodturning, and more.
Montray told Tulsa Today that the 30th year is a milestone the center wants to celebrate with Tulsa, and that the day brings local artists together with shoppers and neighbors. Families get Kid’s Art Alley in the park area near Johnny Was, with face painting, balloon artists, and interactive activities, according to that story. TravelOK calls it Kids Art Alley in the Garden. Tulsa Today also lists a live acoustic set from Ayngel & John, noon to 3 p.m., in the garden area.
For the anniversary, Utica Square partnered with Tulsa portrait artist Charisa Dené Jacobs on an oil painting, “Lady in the Square,” used in this year’s materials. Jacobs told Tulsa Today she placed the clock next to the figure “because it is one of the unique features that makes Utica Square so timeless and charming.”
