and function of structures, location of windows and doors. The maps also

use, and house and block numbers. 1,400 large scale maps of 342 Oklahoma
towns and cities are included in this collection. Sponsored by the Tulsa
Library Trust.

Living Arts of Tulsa
The Myers Gallery is a program of Living Arts of Tulsa which features work by
innovative artists needing a venue to exhibit their thought-provoking works,
but due to the non-traditional nature of their work have not been able to do so.
These presentations include both site-specific installations and gallery exhibitions
at Living Art Space and in various locations around Tulsa in order to expand the
city's exposure to contemporary art forms.
