[4][5][6] In August, 2022, Northern Oklahoma College announced the transformation of Vineyard Library into a contemporary Student Learning Commons named the Pickens Learning Commons, that includes two new permanent murals totaling 100’x20’ by artist Yatika Starr Fields, along with eighty art works from the Doctor Pickens Museum to be on long-term display.

Fields already created two existing murals in the Cultural Engagement Center, commissioned by the Doctor Pickens Museum in November 2020 and completed in June 2021.

"[8] In March 2021 Pickens Museum put on display 10 original sketches and the maquette for "Quest Eternal" by American sculptor Donald De Lue .

“Quest Eternal” is one of De Lue’s best-known works with the 27-foot tall male figure erected in Boston in front of the Prudential Tower.

Donald De Lue was the chief assistant to British sculptor Bryant Baker who created the iconic Pioneer Woman statue in Ponca City, Oklahoma.

[12] Fields’ mural is alive with movement and filled with images that rely on vibrant colors and swirling patterns to show drums, beads, dancers, and horses.

As any Native person knows who dances or participates in ceremonies, they understand that feeling of rhythm and place and movement.” That usage of movement and “swiftness” has since carried into his work, allowing it to flow from one end of the canvas to the other.

The themes are universal: inequality and the struggle for its eradication that should inspire us all.”[17] The Pioneer Woman mural on display in City Central was commissioned by Pickens Museum in 2015.

“You can get out of your car and come over next to it if you wish to take photos but for safety reasons, please stay off the trailer.”[19] In August, 2018 metallic sculptor Stephen Schwark put up a 20 foot Naja around the future location for Pickens Museum 2 miles west of Ponca City on Highway 60.

Most are made of a string of plain round silver beads, interspersed with more stylized "squash blossoms", and feature a pendant, or "naja", hung from the center of the strand.
