ABOUT QUEEN ROSE ART HOUSE
Founded in 2021 by interdisciplinary artist Kalup Linzy, the Queen Rose Art House is a social but critical art space that engages with our local, national, and international art communities. Through hosting events like gatherings, performances, exhibitions, screenings, symposiums, and short-term artist residencies, the project is intended to inspire and create a safe space for artists to dwell.
Established in 2015, the Tulsa Artist Fellowship was created as a place-based initiative by the George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF) to address pressing challenges faced by contemporary artists and arts workers living in and joining Tulsa, Oklahoma. Tulsa Artist Fellowship believes the arts are critical to advancing cultural citizenship and supports community-invested practitioners who intentionally engage with our city.
Our exhibitions and events are free, documented, and archived.
