The book captures the artistry, architecture, and inspiration that continue to define The Church Studio as a national music landmark.
“The Church Studio represents so much more than a building; it’s a living symbol of artistry, collaboration, and community,” said Knox. “I’m honored to share its story through MOTH’s remarkable platform, celebrating Oklahoma women.”
