Philbrook to host ¡Descubra!: A Celebration of Cultural Identities

Tulsa, OK – The Philbrook Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino, invites the public to ¡Descubra!: Celebrating Cultural Identities, a vibrant celebration of Latino arts and culture. This special event, free of charge* and open to families and visitors of all ages, is set to take place on Sunday, April 14, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Participants are encouraged to engage in fun activities and artmaking sessions, enjoy performances by Ballet Folklorico Sol Azteca, and delve into bilingual storytimes with the Tulsa Citycounty Library’s Hispanic Resource Center.

The event will feature a variety of scheduled and all-day fun activities, including self-guided gallery hunts, glassblowing demonstrations, lenticular art with the National Museum of the American Latino, optical illusions with the U.S. Trade & Patent O!ce, and mesmerizing mandala art projects. Attendees can also enjoy indoor and outdoor dining options, including a pop-up café and local treats on the Film Lawn, where community celebration and art in action take center stage.

It offers a platform for families, kids, and teens to explore cultural representation and learn about the contributions of Latinos in the arts. The program, supported in part by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino and backed by General Motor’s support for the Molina Family Latino Gallery, re$ects a commitment to cultural education and engagement.
