ABOUT THE GOFF CENTER OF THE CONTINUOUS PRESENT
With the support of the Tulsa Artist Fellowship, Goff Fest was created from the vision of artist Karl Jones, filmmaker Britni Harris, and Jamie Pierson with Scraps Designs, who felt Goff’s work was underappreciated and hoped “to share an interest in Bruce Goff’s story with a wider regional and national audience.” Since its inaugural festival in 2021, Goff Fest has grown into a multidisciplinary celebration of architecture, art, and design, featuring tours of Goff-designed buildings, film screenings, exhibitions, lectures, panel discussions, live performances, and community events that explore Goff’s lasting influence on Tulsa’s cultural and architectural identity. The festival also highlights Goff’s unconventional philosophy of the “continuous present,” emphasizing creativity, experimentation, and the blending of art, music, and architecture.
Organized by the Goff Center of the Continuous Present (GCCP), the festival will be held in various venues throughout Tulsa, highlighting its unique architectural history and the role Bruce Goff played in that revival.
