Green Country Woman Hosts Art Show In Her Front Yard

A Green Country woman is hosting an upcoming art show in her own front yard.

Tulsa artist Pam Watson hosts the show from her home and guests will find all types of art in her garage and throughout the driveway for anyone who stops by to admire and shop. Watson focuses on abstract paintings. She started the art show in 2020 when galleries shut down due to the pandemic.

With no shows going on, she wanted to help promote artists.

"We had all these paintings and great art that we wanted to continue working on for the purpose to have a show at some point," Watson said.

She gathered 10 friends to be part of it, and the event became the first Maple Ridge Art Happening.

"It was an amazing group of neighbors that came by, and people just caught onto it," Watson said.

Watson's continued hosting shows from her home since then.

For her 7th show this weekend, more than 40 local artists will showcase a variety of pieces from paintings to mosaic art, sculptures, pottery, fiber art, and jewelry.

"I think what's unique is that it's in a neighborhood. I don't really know of anybody else doing neighborhood shows like this, and it's all ranges of artists. It's people that are just sort of starting out, not represented by galleries. Other people are represented by galleries. And it's just kind of a huge range, something for everyone," Watson said.

The show is at her home in the Maple Ridge neighborhood at 215 E 29th Street on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
