The City of Tulsa hosted a dedication Friday for new public art at the Cox Business Convention Center.
Andrew Ramiro Tirado’s Highlight stretches across the steps of the new plaza on the building’s east entrance.
It consists of a two-prong plug that looks a lot like the Blue Dome building and symbolizes Tulsa’s past; an electrical cord fashioned from bent, blue metal that symbolizes the present as the link from past to future; and a yellow light bulb that can be illuminated.
Tulsa Arts Commission Chair Holbrook Lawson tied Highlight into Tirado’s other works.
