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.

Tulsa Artist Fellowship's Open House programming is free and open to all. This year’s visitors are invited to share their Open House experiences and photos to help us imagine what comes next.
