About Us

Personality of Cult is a collective of Tulsa area artists whose works are devoted to their favorite cult classic films.

The first Personality of Cult exhibit opened in February 2008 and was the largest opening reception in the Circle Cinema Gallery's history. Twenty local artists interpreted their favorite cult films, such as Blade Runner, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and many others, into original works of art in a wide array of media and artistic styles that reflect the artists' unique perspective on the films they love.

Our success with the first exhibit garnered demand for a sequel, and sequels is what we brought. With Personality of Cult: Episode Deux, the theme was focused on cult classic sequels and "franchise" films (films that have spawned at least one sequel or prequel). James Bond, Jaws, The Godfather, Lord of the Rings and other films were interpreted in digital illustration, paint, pen and ink, etc. There was also a special treat in store for Star Wars fans, as several artists in the exhibit each offered a take on their favorite characters.

Up next is Mixtape Art Show, which opens December 4 at the Eclipse in Tulsa and features Tulsa artists take on their favorite songs. Personality of Cult 3-D is scheduled to open in 2010.
