ABOUT THE GALLERYThe Four Chapter Gallery is a collaboration between Christ Community and The Culture House that seeks to explore the relationship between art and ideas, reality and fantasy, beauty and deception, and individuality and community. We are pleased to display work from local, emerging, and national artists, who work in a variety of mediums. We’re convinced that the whole city flourishes when good art is produced and made accessible. For more information, visit FourChapter.gallery

This Month’s Exhibition:Black Wall Street: A Modernized Revelation In 2012, activist and abstract folk artist Dawn Tree was moved to create a body of work examining the historic massacre outside Tulsa, OK, popularly known as “Black Wall Street.” The massacre, which took place in the summer of 1921, swelled in brutal force as white residents murdered hundreds of black residents and razed Greenwood (a thriving African American neighborhood) in the span of a few hours.

Dawn Tree, who attended high school in Oklahoma, focuses her mind on the tragedy and the current state of Black Tulsa whenever she revisits the state. She is actively engaged in matters of justice and equity in Tulsa through her relationship with the Greenwood Cultural Center, the Black Wall Street Chamber, the Black Wall Street Market, and other entities.

Dawn Tree created the first piece in this series (Ain’t Natural) in 2012 and has added nine works since. She also maintains a vibrant artistic practice in abstract works, which are hosted on wood using heavy latex acrylic and feature found objects.

Dawn Tree hopes that her work related to Black Wall Street will bring fresh attention to this often marginalized and ignored history. The art she has created through archived photos, journalistic findings, and imaginative assemblage causes this tragic history to come to life. Tree’s ultimate hope is that this work might open minds and erupt conversation that brings real change.
