Sustainability Social Hour with OKC Beautiful

OKC Beautiful's Sustainability Social Hour is for those who love the environment and our city. Each session is centered around networking with those who have a passion for and want to learn more about environmental stewardship topics.

Each session features a conversational Q&A with a guest speaker. September features Hamid Pezeshkian and Josh Masterson of Sailor & the Dock, a sustainably-developed space coming to the Film Row District opening later this year. The event includes a mix and mingle portion from 5:00- 5:30, then kicks off the one-hour Q&A session.

Sailor & the Dock is an eco-conscious conversion of a 100-year-old warehouse in the Film Row District. Sailor & The Dock launched with Hamid’s vision to repurpose a 100-year-old urban warehouse into a unique hub for arts and entrepreneurial experiences that align with his core values as a creative. Hamid’s love for preserving nature from unsustainable development and construction led him to create a space that inspires other humans to love nature and each other.

As the creative vision for this project became clear, the core values of Sustainability, Creativity, Community, and Wellness were born - guiding Hamid’s direction for the adaptive-reuse conversion/development of this 14,000-square-foot downtown warehouse into a creative community space, as well as the founding characteristics of Sailor and The Dock.

With Hamid’s new-found respect for sailing, which he considers a superpower and amongst the most sustainable form of travelling the world, the name Sailor & The Dock was born. Sailor and the Dock represents the Dock where explorers and risk takers - creative artists and entrepreneurs - come together to embark on their journey!

The space will include artists, makers, a local market, a bar, an events venue, and more.
