108 Contemporary

Awesome art gallery focused on modern textile art. Free admission on the Tulsa Art Crawl makes it even more fun!

This is a unique gallery, steps away from the Woody Guthrie Center. We usually drop in on First Fridays, but I also love to visit midday, after catching lunch somewhere in the Brady District. Do not think this is an "arts and crafts" venue. While the purpose of the gallery is to promote local artists, it is the FINE crafting that gets highlighted here. I have seen some tremendous tapestry artists (like John Eric Riis), other fiber arts and ceramics on display here.As others have pointed it, one of the biggest benefits is that it is free.The small gift shop has some outstanding wares for sale.

Lovely itemsStopped in here on our way to a restaurant It looked interesting from the street Big old building exhibiting artHuge silk fabric art in front Beautiful colorsThis exhibition had lots of variety of mediumsPottery, glass, jewelry, metal and fabric,etcTulsa seem to support its artists Very enjoyable visit

To be fair my only experiences here have been during First Friday art crawls. This being said I do enjoy looking over local art. I have never been disappointed by what I've seen and enjoy the variety. Staff that are present are always knowledgeable and helpful.

"It was heartwarming to see everyone and such a mix: a cross dresser and George Kaiser in the same crowd."I wrote this two yrs ago, reviewing First Friday Art Crawl. It remains an interesting place with extremely diverse offerings. Often the artists stand nearby their creations for discussion. It's often about design, be it furniture or clothes, shoes, or fabric art. There was an exhibit where afflicted women (cancer, as I recall) donated their dresses with a personal statement attached. Insightful. And I met the most interesting doctor there that night. i e, you never know the extent of where this Gallery will take you. Always food for thought and yet, often whimsical. And speaking of food, they really put on a First Friday spread if you're into publicly offered free food. If you get there early enough, their caterer does a beautiful job of presenting. Fruit, cheese, crackers, cookies, chips, dips; the usual. Thought provoking. And crowded. Be prepared if you attend first Friday.

I went during First Friday Art Crawl. This gallery was pretty cool but packed due to the event. I liked the life-sized pieces. Maybe I should come back when it's not as packed. I would have more time to soak in the artwork & capture more pieces.

I stumbled upon this art gallery while walking around downtown with a friend after dinner. We just walked in (awkwardly, since we didn't know whether we could just walk in or not). We weren't greeted at all. We didn't even see a person working there (turns out she was in the back on her iPhone. Really professional). The space was really nice and open - it looked like a true, chic art gallery. There were less than 50 art pieces there, all for sale. I think it only took us 15 minutes to look at everything. Some were really cool, some were eh. If you're looking for something to do before/after dinner, this is an option!!

Fun venue for chamber music concert this evening. Centrally located and comfortable. Thanks !

So... I have only been here a couple times, but mostly for events. From what I know- they are awesome. It is super contemporary, minimal and clean. It is what the Brady District needs. I really like that the last exhibition I saw featured basketweaving, but not just into baskets. Also, they had activities for children that went along with the exhibit. Audrey was super happy and was able to take it home with her to complete it later. The docents we encountered were super sweet and helpful.

I love this place! It's a great stop when you're in Downtown Tulsa, and best of all - it's free! They have new featured artists almost monthly and the quality of the artists that I've seen has always been amazing, very unique and different than many galleries I have been to in the past. I'd really like to see inside the shop during one of Tulsa's artwalks and how they treat those nights. The space is really just one giant gallery, with a small inlet of local art and wares, all priced under $400. The artwork I've seen here has generally been very statement making, enough stimulation for a gallery with just one featured artist. It takes about 30 minutes or less to go through, perfect if you're waiting for a reservation elsewhere or just wandering around. 108 Contemporary also works with other organizations to offer classes for the community. Most artists are Oklahoma local, and artists that are not fall along the theme of using found objects.
