Established in 2015, Tulsa Artist Fellowship was created as a place-based initiative by the George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF) that addresses 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.

OPEN HOUSE 2025: WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS


Tulsa Artist Fellowship’s third annual Open House celebrated our ongoing commitment to nurturing Tulsa’s vibrant arts community and the visionary practitioners who shape it. Over the course of an extraordinary weekend, programs fostered interconnectedness through community care and exchange —featuring exhibitions, site-specific installations, performances, readings, panel discussions, workshops, film screenings, open studios, art and literary publications, community meals, and more.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the neighbors, awardees, and partners who made this year’s Open House so memorable. Your curiosity, generosity, and presence continue to propel Tulsa Artist Fellowship forward.

Open House returns October 2–4, 2026.
