Robert ‘J.R.’ Daniels, a resident artist at Street Smarts Studios and Gallery has been in the business of creating and selling art a long time. A very long time.

He’s always searching and prospecting for new avenues of exposure. As a result of his relentless efforts, his work has graced book covers, magazine covers and countless online E-Zines. This morning, he was presented with another sale.

One of his pieces was selected to grace the home screen of Atomic Apps. They offer an interactive custom map maker tool that lets you turn any image into a personalized, clickable map with custom pins, notes, and categories. His art will grace their publicity efforts in many ways for many years to come.

They saw his art on one of his targeted posts and found their guy. They talked, made a deal – another sale was made and another credit acknowledged for J.R.

Nothing happens until two people talk to each other. Remember that, and nothing will happen if you don’t reach out every day to somebody. Don’t fret over ‘likes’ or ‘shares’ or ‘comments.’ Just let people know you create on as many platforms as you can. It takes time, it takes effort but keep it up – good things will happen.

Want to talk about it some more? Come to the gallery, have a cup of something hot and let’s explore opportunities.

We scheduled our First Friday Open House from 5-7PM for a reason.

The Paseo First Friday Art Walk is 6-8PM. Come see us FIRST on First Friday – you still have time to walk up and down the Paseo and get some dinner.

If I can see art at the Paseo why go to Street Smarts Gallery?

How about seeing award winning art from thirty award winning artists all in one building. Not to mention the variety of clay figures, pottery, prints and gifts. Again – all in one building.

Don’t get me wrong, the Paseo is a cool hip place to stroll and maybe get a meal. (After you walk three blocks to get there you’ll need to eat). At Street Smarts Gallery you can eat, drink wine and walk only one block to reach our doors. And it’s free. Plus, you may have heard, the USA Today vote conducted by The Oklahoman puts us as the #1 privately owned art gallery in the city - #1.

Come see what everyone’s talking about. Meet the creators – the makers, and immerse yourself with some of the nation’s best art at Street Smarts Studios and Gallery, on Friday, September 4th from 5-7PM

One thing a little different this First Friday, is the addition of a book signing. Meet Trey Hays. You’ll like Trey, your like his book and his laid back, I get-along-with-everybody vibe. No book - no problem - he has book. Don’t want a book? No problem - we have art and gifts and new and old friends waiting for you.

Happy people doing happy things with friends.

Boy, these guys need a new 'headshot' pic.

Hey artists, authors, even you suited up business people - Need a 'headshot' photo for bio, LinkedIn, etc., Mallory Wolfe is a genius with a camera. Her studio is on the corner of NW 33 & N. Villa (across the street from Street Smarts Studios and Gallery). Sit for 10 minutes, she takes multiple shots, then works her magic - you get your choice of the pics taken, color or B&W. She made one pic of me, a shaggy haired old dude look good. I can't determine if its a bank president or a villain in a James Bond movie! (See a pic in the first comment).

Resident Artist, Diane Goldschmidt reminded me it's time for the Halloween art & gift items to come out. Holy cow time has flown. She’s in the process of making quite a few ‘smalls’ for her studio space at the gallery. I’ll dust off Edgar, our Halloween mascot mannequin and get him ready to greet art lovers as they enter.

Most of the other artists at the gallery will be bringing in their one-of-a-kind holiday items too, especially Soni Parsons. She’s the cauldron stirrer at the gallery and knows how to put on a Halloween display! Come see them and more at our First Friday Open House September 4th.

Cards, prints, clay items and of course painted works on canvas ready to take home.

Our neighbor, Mallory Wolfe, a photographer (and thoughtful friend to Street Smarts Studio and Gallery) has her studio at the corner of NW 33rd & N. Villa Avenue, just across the street. She sent us a group of photos she took during our First Friday Open House - one year anniversary party. We love her and her awesome family. Thank you, Wolfe-pack!

Here's a link to her photos of our special evening on August 7th, 2026: To download and save any of the photos use this PIN: 8763

Come by the gallery today 2-5PM to meet Bryce Turner, Author of 'Burning the Candle at Both Ends' and 'Off the Front Lines.'

He' signing books. No book? No problem - he'll have them to sell. Don't want one? No problem - come by and meet him. He's an interesting fellow, an all around good guy and impossible to not like.

There may be other things in the gallery you might like for those people in your life having August birthdays, or anniversaries and such. Lots of unique gift ideas $10 - $100.

We're open 11AM-5:30PM

It's cool inside- cool air, cool people, cool art, cool stuff.

And the winner is… OKC Museum of Art. Congratulations to them.

It was the first time to compete in the Oklahoma Community Choice Awards vote for Street Smarts Studios and Gallery and we placed, leaving the rest of the pack somewhere behind us. Thanks to YOU.

This town has dozens of small art galleries like SSS&G with about 4,000sf of floor space or less, and are privately owned by people that love art and contribute in their own unique way to the local art community.

It was a fun exercise. We placed in the top three and we learned a lot.

This gallery is so grateful to those that voted for us, for those that support our efforts to bring additional activities and programs to the art community and provide exhibit and studio space to working artists. That, in short is our mission and we thank you for allowing us the means to continue.

Happy people doing happy things.

A swell time was had by all at our one-year anniversary party Open House last Friday evening. The Canyon Echo Band played two hours to rave reviews. We had plenty of adult beverages and ample food despite the food truck not showing up. If you ever contract with Supreme Bites Food Truck, be prepared for disappointment. Not even a courtesy call. Not cool. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

It was great! Artists and artwork were on hand and in abundance. Thank you for a great year. We’re leaning in to achieving a full calendar in the next twelve months.

Just FYI - One of our empty store fronts was rented by artist Bobby Burnett whom will convert it to studios and possibly add a few artists to exhibit. We welcome the activity and are ready to cooperate on joint events. His space will be ready close to Thanksgiving.

Another mention of two new artists in the house. Nina Goodwin and Becca Lindley. More eye candy art in the gallery.

COMING UP…
Thursday, August 13th, 6-7PM. Live Model Figure Sketching with professional model & actress, Paige Lebbs. She’ll be coming in costume as ‘Poison Ivy’ one of Batman’s most sultry but villainous meanies. This event is family friendly and free. You’ll need to bring your own art supplies.

Also on Thursday… The Oklahoman/USA Today sponsored Community Choice Awards will announce the winner for ‘Best Art Gallery’ in Oklahoma City. Street Smarts Gallery is in the running for the top spot along with The Oklahoma City Museum of Art and The Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center (both downtown). David vs. Goliaths.

Several artists are attending the gala dinner to hear the news first hand. Thank you for getting us here. We beat out two other strong contenders (Howell Gallery and North Studios) to achieve the top three. Wish us luck!

Saturday, August 15th, 3-5PM, Meet Mr. Bryce Turner. Hustler, robber, convict. Of course, that was then – Mr. Turner has written two books about his experiences and the road to redemption from his family, community and by his faith. He is an interesting character and friend to this gallery. Bring your copy of ‘Off the Front Line’ or ‘Burning the Candle at Both Ends’ to be signed or buy them once you’re here.

The Oklahoma Art Guild Show is October 2-24th, and another sidewalk art show, sponsored by the Edmond Art Association is Saturday, October 3rd. More to come - book signings, shows and holiday related events - keep watching.

Thanks again and many time over for your support of Street Smarts Gallery.

Do something fun this week – visit an art gallery. Buy art from a living artist.
