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.

MixTape Art Show Official Call For Entries


MixTape with Dj's Lynn K and Robbo, is teaming with the Personality of Cult art exhibitions to organize an art show featuring works by Tulsa area artists that pay homage to their favorite songs.

The show is slated to open December 4, 2009 at the Eclipse (6th & Peoria) with an opening reception/dance party featuring the songs that inspired the art works.


ELIGIBILITY

Open to the public. No finished work is required at the time of entry form being turned in. However, for planning purposes, we would like to see a prep sketch of your piece in advance of completion of your art work.


REQUIREMENTS

Work must be inspired any song, preferably one that, in the words of the immortal Dick Clark, has a good beat and you can dance to it, as the song you choose will be featured in the dance party included with the opening gala.

The theme of your work must be to demonstrate what this song means to you personally. Draw from your own memories of this song, interpret the lyrics in your own style, and create art that conveys a unique perspective.

Entrants are free to use any medium they wish, provided that the finished piece meets the size requirements listed below, and that the piece is able to hang on the wall, preferably with wire on the back of the piece.

We wish to have as much variety as we can, and to that end, you will be given a choice of two songs to base your artwork on. On the form below, please indicate a primary and secondary choice. The secondary choice is in the case of another artist having already chosen your primary choice. In such an event, we will consult with both artists to reach an agreement as to who lays claim to the subject.


SIZE OF ARTWORK

In keeping with the music theme, all pieces MUST be 12 inches by 12 inches, the standard size of a traditional vinyl album cover. This size must include any framing and matting.


DEADLINE FOR ENTRY FORMS

Entry form must be received by SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 2009. If your entry form has not been responded to by at least two days of delivery, please re-submit or call the contact number listed at the bottom. All forthcoming information regarding the opening of the show, will be shared with all entrants as they are available.
