It takes an arts program to organize a dance protest.

Good for them for protesting. Any successful city has a thriving arts scene. Fact.

That's always been high on the livability factor for Tulsa.  I think many don't appreciate how good we have it when it comes to an acclaimed ballet, symphony, etc.  I will never forget seeing Al Hirt at the Brady 20 some years ago when he played with the Tulsa Symphonia and he said we needed to realize how fortunate we were as the New Orleans Symphony had folded shortly before that.  Even if you don't utilize it, it's one of the assets that many do enjoy.
