UPCOMING EVENTS + WORKSHOPS
CONNECTING THE DOTS WORKSHOP IN GLENPOOL!
Veterans across Oklahoma have been showing up, getting creative, and coming back for more. Now it's Glenpool's turn!
SPARK! Creative Lab is bringing our signature Connecting the Dots workshop to the Mighty VFW Post 9126, and we'd love to have you join us.
What's the deal? We use Morse code, rhythm, percussion, and mask painting to get creative, have some fun, and connect with fellow Veterans. It's designed and led by Veterans, probably different from anything you've tried before—and that's part of the fun.
Here's what we'll get up to:
Turn words and phrases into Morse code
Make some noise with rhythm and percussion
Experiment with visual patterns and mask painting
See what happens when we put it all together!
Here's something we love about art: sometimes words don't quite cut it. Turns out, there are a whole lot of other ways to express yourself. We'll show you a few.
No artistic talent required. No musical experience necessary. No clinical anything, and absolutely no pressure to do anything you don't want to do.
Just Veterans, artists, and a couple of hours to try something new together.
FREE | All Veterans Welcome
All branches. All eras. No experience necessary.
And yes, there will be food. Crayons for those who indulge.
Walk-ins are welcome, but RSVPs help us plan.
Questions? Call (405) 254-8623 or email vets@sparklahoma.org.
Please note: This workshop is designed for Veterans only.

DITTY BOPS 2025
VETERANS + ARTISTS. ONE STAGE. Born from months of free, Veteran-forward workshops, Ditty Bops 2025 unites 14 artists and Veterans in a postmodern mosaic of life after service. Sparked by Vietnam-era Morse Code Interceptor Neil Chapman (USAF), whose courage showed how one story can open the door for many, this new chapter continues in his honor. Through music, movement, film, and visual art, audiences witness resilience, humor, grief, leadership, and love. In these divided times, Ditty Bops 2025 offers a powerful chance to gather around Veterans with creativity and care, moving beyond “thank you for your service” to truly honor those who have carried the country on their backs.
