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.

One week to go!

Seven days are left until the opening of Personality of Cult: Episode Deux. Pieces are being finished and gathered as we speak, and the last-minute preparations are underway for what's gearing up to be one hell of a show!

We will be on OklaTravelNet this coming Monday, January 26. A link/embed video to the segment will be posted here as soon as it is available.

We are also scheduling a segment on Good Day Tulsa on NewsChannel 8 for the morning of January 30th. And look for our listing in next week's Urban Tulsa Weekly.

The opening gala and silent auction will open Friday, January 30 at 7:00 p.m. At 9:00, we will be handing out jury awards to the artists and be making important announcements about the Cult's upcoming events. Silent auction bidding will close just after 11:00 p.m.

And why not round out the night with a movie? Stick around afterwards for the Circle Cinema's Midnight Movie: Clerks, as chosen in a poll this past fall by fans of Personality of Cult.
