At Tulsa Artist Fellowship, artists and arts workers come together in Tulsa, Oklahoma, distinctly positioned at the center of coastal cultural conversations. Socially invested arts practitioners live and work here, intentionally engaging with our city.
Our program strives to provide a safe, inclusive, anti-oppressive experience for participants of all backgrounds. Individuals are treated with respect and dignity.
Tulsa Artist Fellowship does not discriminate on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, citizen status, ancestry, age, religion, disability, sex or gender, sexual orientation or any other identity.
We value freedom of expression and share that guiding belief with a community that celebrates diversity of thought and creativity.
Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world who contributed their hopes, dreams and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some were brought here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in hope of a better life, some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted and some fled Tulsa, never to return. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference.
We begin this effort to acknowledge what has been buried by honoring the truth:
We are standing on the tribal lands of the Osage, Cherokee and Muscogee People. We honor their elders, past and present.
We are standing on the land of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. We pay respect to these victims and survivors, past and present.
Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration and settlement upon this land. Tulsa Artist Fellowship offers our care and commitment to acknowledging these truths and resisting injustice in all forms through intentional programming and artistic practices.
