If you’re brave enough to head out in this heat, here’s a list of artsy activities for you to enjoy this weekend.  Let’s hope for that cold front to move in – then it might be 98 degrees instead of 104.  Cold front or not, enjoy outdoor evening performances when it’s a bit cooler or spend your time in the air conditioning at the Civic Center or a museum.  Trust me – the Museum of Art’s A/C will keep you much cooler than the pool.  Here’s what’s going on in OKC:
