Michael Duntz 2016 • Living in Oklahoma • 1 1 OKIntroduction Oklahoma is an interesting state, full of interesting and, sometimes, quirky things you won’t find anywhere else in the United States. Besides the fact that Oklahoma has about 400 miles of Route 66 that boasts of a giant blue whale and a big round barn, it also has about 55,646 miles of shoreline, which is impressive considering it’s a landlocked state. Newcomers to the state, and those who choose to remain, often credit the friendliness of the people of the Red Dirt State as why it’s a great place to live. Living in Oklahoma offers a slew of interesting places, unique adventures and stimulating destinations. We’ve listed just a few things that living in Oklahoma offers: Oklahoma’s Selenite Crystals Oklahoma’s Great Salt Plains near the Great Salt Plains State Park in northwest Oklahoma is the only place in the world to find selenite crystals. Along with hiking, camping and other outdoor activities, Oklahomans can actually dig up crystals that exist only in Oklahoma. Millions of years ago, the state park was once flooded by seawater, which evaporated and left a thick layer of salt. Brine created by the salt combined with minerals in soil, creates an hourglass crystal that is completely unique to Oklahoma. deadCenter Film Festival Oklahoma loves art, music and movies, and the deadCenter Film Festival, held each June, is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated film festivals in the U.S. and beyond. More than 1,200 films were submitted for the 2016 festival, the most submitted in the festival’s history. Of the films submitted, 106 Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa. Courtesy photo were chosen, including 23 films made in Oklahoma. Price Tower Frank Lloyd Wright’s only skyscraper – Located in Bar- tlesville, the Price Tower was world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s only actualized skyscraper. Frank Lloyd Wright called this architectural masterpiece the “tree that escaped the crowded forest” when he built his first and only skyscraper for the H.C. Price International Pipe- line Company in 1956. The Price Tower was one of three skyscrapers that were to be built at St. Mark’s in New York City. The building found its way to the red dirt soil of the booming oil town instead and became a combination apart- ment-office building. H.C. Price kept his tiny apartments at the top, but thanks to renovations by architect Wendy Evans Joseph, visitors can now stay in this upscale 21-room bou- tique inn called Inn at Price Tower.

These women offer valuable insights into the history of photography and women's involvement in that history. They appear in this study because examples of their photography exist at the Oklahoma Historical Society and the University of Oklahoma. They were researched further through the United States Census Records and city directories. The results of these record searches are discussed in Chapters One and Two in conjunction with a discussion of the individual women. This study is organized to place the seven women from the Oklahoma and Indian Territories into the wider history of photography and women's involvement in that history. Chapter One contains information about the trends in professional photography from approximately 1889 until 1907. Incorporated into this general history are four specific women from the Territories: Emma Coleman, Georgia Isbell 111 Rollins, Persis Gibbs, and Alice Mary Robertson.

    AMP UP OKC INTEGRATING ARTWORK AND THE IDEAS OF ARTISTS An Art Master Plan for the City of Oklahoma City Gail M. Goldman Associates, 2015 In June 2013, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced its award of an “Our Town” grant to the Cultural Development Corporation of Central Oklahoma. The NEA grant is dedicated to support an art master plan to successfully implement and leverage the City of Oklahoma City’s One Percent for Art Ordinance. The ordinance, passed in 2009, requires that one percent of construction budgets for buildings and parks be allocated to public art. Developing an art master plan provides procedural guidance and policy recommendations for reviewing and commissioning public art in Oklahoma City. A Task Force was appointed to select a consultant and guide the process. The Task Force reported regularly to the Oklahoma City Arts Commission and the Cultural Development Corporation of Central Oklahoma. The Art Master Plan (AMP) seeks to improve the artist selection process, maximize artistic quality, and engage the broader arts community in planning for public art.
