Happy 1219 Day! Every December 19th (12/19/24) we celebrate creativity, collaboration and innovation in OKC by commemorating 1219 Creative office, co-work and art gallery. Gone, but not forgotten, including the (now previous) 125’ mural by Yatika Fields. Keep on being creative!
Happy 1219 Creative Day everyone. On this date 12/19 we pause to remember OKC’s first collaborative co-work space and community gathering hub for all things business, art and (obviously) creative. Gone but not forgotten. https://t.co/xhB7njGuRw
Eventually, the building was sold (now a dispensary, what a surprise) and all of the businesses, artists, non-profits & co-workers had to move. An unwelcome change we all had to deal with. Change always happens, how you react to it is the key to success. https://t.co/wdomLrAZLm
Bonus: The original episode (in 2017) was from @1219Creative one of OKC's first co-working spaces but also the home of (my business) The @GoldingGroup, @inclusioninart and an art gallery where we hosted monthly art shows, pop-up shops and community events. https://t.co/QTE5efxy8x
Have you seen the new @Yatikafields painting at the Oklahoma State Capitol? The Bright Golden Haze artist will also have work on view with us in ArtNow 2023.
Happy to have this work included in State Capitol Restoration Project, Oklahoma art in public places. Along with other selected Indigenous artist this work tells the layered memories and history of Spiro Mounds. Will make further post and work statement on IG soon.
Thrilled to have artist @Yatikafields with us today as we installed his new mural near the visitor entrance at the Oklahoma State Capitol. It's entitled: "Spiro: Serpent River, Shelled Stories, Sun-Touched Engravings."

Right now, the space at 617 W. Sheridan Ave. in Oklahoma City is filled with art reflecting the 16th century; very soon it will showcase artworks that have yet to be created.

#ThrowbackThursday 5 years ago all residents received a rude request to vacate. The new owner kicked everyone out, tore everything down we built, let it sit empty, then painted over Yatika Fields mural & turned our former co-working and art gallery space into another dispensary.
#TBT 5 years ago this week we left downtown OKC for the suburbs after a new owner of @1219Creative "went in a different direction" (surprise, it's now a dispensary) from our offices, co-working and art gallery. Next week, we return to downtown. Film Row to be exact. Details soon.
