Morning Assembly: Richard Zimmerman and Urban Core Art Project

Join renowned musician David Broome for a site-specific sound work inaugurating artist Richard Zimmerman’s new public artwork, Assembly, at Plaza de las Americas. Broome’s instruments will be a series of custom-built photosensitive oscillators, resulting in a composition shaped by landscape, light, the sculpture, and those assembled.

Richard Zimmerman is an interdisciplinary artist whose work encompasses sculpture, photography, sound, video, and drawing. He holds a master of Fine Arts degree in studio art from Cornell University and a bachelor’s in painting from Pratt Institute. His work has been exhibited at various venues, including Miami Art Basel, Artlot, the Shore Institute for Contemporary Art, Signal Gallery, the Royal Nonesuch Gallery, and the Center on Contemporary Art in Seattle. Zimmerman received a Tulsa Artist Fellowship award in 2019.

An imaginative and versatile pianist/composer, David Broome has a playful taste for all genres of music. Broome has presented a wide variety of genre-bending music at such venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Barclay’s Center, Merkin Hall, Le Poisson Rouge, The 92nd St. Y, The Whitney Museum, The Stone, Roulette, and Issue Project Room, among others. Currently residing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Broome teaches various music courses at the Barthelmes Conservatory. David holds a Master’s of Music from the Manhattan School of Music and a Bachelor’s of Music from Towson University, where he studied with pianists Phillip Kawin, Anthony de Mare, and Reynaldo Reyes.

The Urban Core Art Project (UCAP) was established with a mission to develop site-inspired temporary public art in the heart of historic downtown Tulsa. The goal of the program is to animate downtown with ongoing temporary public art designed to activate pedestrian space, encourage a lively urban core, foster economic development, and contribute to the adaptive reuse of empty office buildings.

Tulsa Artist Fellowship’s third annual Open House, taking place from October 3-5, 2025, embodies our commitment to nurturing Tulsa and its visionary artistic practitioners. Programs foster interconnectedness through community care and collaboration.
