Some artwork stays with you long after you've left the gallery.

This summer, we invite you to discover yours.

Join us for On the Wall: Adopt a Masterpiece, an inspiring evening celebrating art, history, and community at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art.

Before the event, we encourage you to visit the Museum during FREE summer admission (thanks to our generous Community Sponsors) and explore the galleries to find the artwork that speaks to you.

Then, on July 16, return for a special evening where you'll have the opportunity to adopt your favorite masterpiece for one year in support of the Museum's permanent collection.

What does "adopting a masterpiece" mean?

When you adopt a work of art, you're helping preserve and care for the Museum's extraordinary collection while supporting its educational programs and mission.

- Your name will be recognized alongside your adopted artwork in the gallery for one year.

- Artwork adoptions begin at just $10 per month, making it easy for everyone to participate.

- You may choose to make your adoption with a one-time gift or through convenient monthly payments.

The artwork always remains part of the Museum's permanent collection, inspiring visitors for generations to come.

Whether you're a longtime Museum supporter or planning your very first visit, this event is an opportunity to experience the collection in a personal and meaningful way.

Spend the evening surrounded by incredible works of art, enjoy refreshments, explore the galleries, and help preserve one of Oklahoma's cultural treasures.

Every masterpiece has a story.

With two 1-hour specials Red-Nexican & ALMA Award winning Hick-Spanic that aired on Showtime, Comedy Central & NETFLIX, Alex Reymundo's comedy style appeals to all demographics. Three words describe him best... FUNNY as HELL. Alex Reymundo and Ron White own & operate Number JUAN Tequila, a small batch, hand crafted, award winning Tequila.

Alex's exposure to LIVE standup began in Arlington, TX in 1988. Reymundo proudly boasts about serving Ron White Tequila & a Budweiser right before he hit the stage on Tatersalad's amateur comedy debut. The two Texas comics emerged & traveled the nation together for the first few years of their early careers. Five years of road gigging throughout the midwest led Reymundo to Los Angeles where he discovered an exploding Latino comedy scene. It wasn't long before Alex was touring with Paul Rodriguez. The timing was right, Alex emerged and hit the national scene on Paramount Picture's "The Original Latin Kings of Comedy" along side Paul Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, George Lopez & Joey Medina.

Please join us! No previous experience required…come as you are… ready for an experience in enchantment!

SWAN redefines person-in-relation to place, laying the foundation for restoring the health of people and the planet through the language of art and the power of imagination.

Art & Nature Heal, Imagine That!

SWANshops: Altered Books

The Earth that we live on is full of stories in the same way that, for a fish, the ocean is full of ocean. Some people say when we are born we’re born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories – Ben Okri Nigerian storyteller and poet.

The Altered Books art experience will focus on telling our stories through our inner and outer landscapes. Creating Altered Books is a varied and delightful mixed media method of art making that repurposes old books into delightful storytelling repositories.

Each section of the altered book will tell a story from our life, our geo-biography – the landscapes that have held us and brought meaning into our lives. The idea of “landscapes of life” highlights the inter-connectedness of our internal world, external experiences, and our relationship with the environment. It suggests that our personal experiences and choices shape not only our individual path but also our understanding of the world around us.

Participants will work on one section of their book over 6 swan shop meetings. Each time we meet we will focus on a new invitation. Come to one or as many as you like!

During the first meeting, participants will prepare their “book” for altering, glueing pages, painting parts, etc. And…they will begin to document the role of the land in their lives through simple writing exercises.

All following sessions will elaborate on these geo-biographical stories translated into images for their altered book.

Saturday, March 7| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Saturday, April 11| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

We are open to the public the first Sunday of each month from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The entry fee for public run will be $5 per person.

We are available for birthday parties the second Saturday of the month. Please see Book an Event at locotrains.org

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (L.O.C.O.) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of large scale model railroading. The scale is 1.5 inches to the foot (1/8th scale) and the track gauge (distance between the rails) is 7.5 inches making the equipment large enough to ride. The organization owns and operates an outdoor railroad on five acres of land some 15 miles east of Oklahoma City. The track plan is a modified figure eight with a mainline approximately three quarters of a mile that passes over seven bridges and through an 80-foot tunnel. In addition, there is another half-mile of sidings, spurs, and yards. The mainline has a minimum radius of fifty feet and a maximum grade of three percent. Track expansions are being planned and built that will provide over one mile of continuous mainline running.

While many members own and operate a variety of miniature railroad equipment, L.O.C.O. maintains equipment for club member use. In addition to a number of passenger-carrying cars and assorted freight cars, several locomotives are kept on site. The most interesting is probably the 4-4-2 (Atlantic) steam engine, affectionately known as “Double Aught Ugly.” This locomotive is an actual coal-fired, steam-powered locomotive and takes a fair amount of “train” knowledge and instruction to operate. For those whose railroading leans toward the cleaner and more modern, there are three models of diesel-powered locomotives. One is a GP-7, an over-the-road unit, and the second is a Super Mack, which was patterned after a light-duty switcher built by the Mack Truck Company in the 1920s. Both of these locomotives are battery powered and can be operated with a minimum of knowledge and instruction. The third diesel engine the club owns is a replica of a GP-38 and uses a gasoline engine as the primary drive source.

Every Saturday morning members meet at the track to spend time working around the L.O.C.O. property or on equipment. The first Sunday of each month is reserved as a public run day when all can come out and play trains during the months of January through November. We do not have a public run in December due to our Christmas Night events. People wishing to see and ride the trains can arrive early and use the picnic tables on the grounds to eat lunch, and then enjoy riding trains from about 1 PM until 4 PM. The second Sunday of the month is reserved for club members to bring their equipment to the track and enjoy running trains with a train dispatcher that can control the movement of trains running bi-directionally (both ways at the same time) by radio dispatch. During these second Sunday run sessions, some special night time operations can also occur.

The L.O.C.O. facilities are meant to be enjoyed by everyone and can be made available for special events with children’s birthday parties topping the list. For a donation determined by the number of guests, trains (made up with “kid-sized” cars) along with qualified operators will be dedicated to the party group and ready to carry excited riders over the rails.

To be sure, this is an unusual but exciting twist to the model railroading hobby. If it sounds like something that may interest you, please come out and visit. Get to know us and get involved. Memberships are ALWAYS available!

Please join us! No previous experience required…come as you are… ready for an experience in enchantment!

SWAN redefines person-in-relation to place, laying the foundation for restoring the health of people and the planet through the language of art and the power of imagination.

Art & Nature Heal, Imagine That!

SWANshops: Altered Books

The Earth that we live on is full of stories in the same way that, for a fish, the ocean is full of ocean. Some people say when we are born we’re born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories – Ben Okri Nigerian storyteller and poet.

The Altered Books art experience will focus on telling our stories through our inner and outer landscapes. Creating Altered Books is a varied and delightful mixed media method of art making that repurposes old books into delightful storytelling repositories.

Each section of the altered book will tell a story from our life, our geo-biography – the landscapes that have held us and brought meaning into our lives. The idea of “landscapes of life” highlights the inter-connectedness of our internal world, external experiences, and our relationship with the environment. It suggests that our personal experiences and choices shape not only our individual path but also our understanding of the world around us.

Participants will work on one section of their book over 6 swan shop meetings. Each time we meet we will focus on a new invitation. Come to one or as many as you like!

During the first meeting, participants will prepare their “book” for altering, glueing pages, painting parts, etc. And…they will begin to document the role of the land in their lives through simple writing exercises.

All following sessions will elaborate on these geo-biographical stories translated into images for their altered book.

Saturday, March 7| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Saturday, April 11| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Russell says, "When we began Back Around, we decided it would be a completely organic, home-grown record, created and produced by my family, my band and me. We were able to just be ourselves and let the world know who the Russell family is. We wanted to play our original songs and also pay homage to our musical heroes," she continues.'For the first time, we were able to use our family harmonies as an instrument on the tracks.'

The Walk brings together survivors of suicide loss, people with lived experience, families, friends, coworkers, and community members who share a common goal: creating a culture where mental health is prioritized and no one struggles alone.

Everyone is welcome to participate—walk as an individual, start a team, join an existing team, volunteer, or make a donation. Together, we can raise awareness, inspire hope, and help save lives.

Join us in Shawnee as we walk toward a future where suicide is preventable and every person knows they are valued, supported, and never alone.

This year’s conference theme is “Take Up and Read” which comes from Augustine’s classic Confessions, a book with much to say about reading. Augustine’s life was dramatically changed when he picked up Paul’s epistle to the Romans in the garden one day, but his life was touched by his reading even before that. Virgil awakened the young Augustine to the beauty of language. Later, Cicero’s Hortensius awakened him to the pursuit of wisdom. Lamppost 2026 will explore the way Great Books can change our lives and shift our priorities.
