Tulsa Artist Fellowship is pleased to announce the opening of applications for the 2026-2028 Tulsa Artist Fellowship award term on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. The commencement of this upcoming cohort will bring the place-based residency program to its fully expanded award structure, which began during its 2024-2026 inaugural term, awarding thirty artists and arts workers who will overlap in their first, second, and third award years. 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Tulsa Artist Fellowship.

Central Standard, a new contemporary art platform based in Tulsa, will launch its inaugural exhibition, Drift///Hold, presented in partnership with the Tulsa Artist Fellowship. The exhibition opens on February 20 at the newly renovated Price Family Properties’ Arco Building (119 E. 6th Street, Tulsa, OK). Founded by Tulsa-born curators Lindsay Aveilhé and Ashanti Chaplin, Central Standard is dedicated to elevating contemporary art in Middle America and fostering international artistic exchange. 

Marking the tenth anniversary of Tulsa Artist Fellowship, 10 awardees working across various arts disciplines were selected to receive $2.35 million in resources by a panel of esteemed arts leaders to live and work in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Tulsa Artist Fellowship is proud to present 2024-2026 awardee Miguel Braceli’s solo exhibition, Emancipatory Lands, at Booth C3 during the 13th edition of Untitled Art Miami Beach. Untitled Art Miami Beach 2024 will take place Wednesday, December 4 through Sunday, December 8, 2024, with a VIP and Press Preview on Tuesday, December 3, at 12th Street and Ocean Drive.

This October, the Art World was busy exploring Frieze London and Art Basel Paris where collectors, gallerists, and artists mingled in the ether of hoped-for big sales. That was not for me. Instead, I went to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to attend the second annual Tulsa Artist Fellowship Open House weekend.

Tulsa International Airport is proud to announce the completion of a stunning new hanging art installation in front of its TSA security checkpoint. Created by Tulsa-based artist Shane Darwent, the piece, titled “Sunrising,” completely transforms the airport’s main hall with a series of 34 colored-resin panels that transition through the color spectrum of a sky from sunrise to sunset.

As we prepare to welcome the new year, the Tulsa Artist Fellowship community has reflected on all that has been accomplished in 2023. From influential exhibitions to groundbreaking publication launches, irreverent film series to shattering performances, it's been a year marked by studio process, collaboration, and commitment to nurturing Tulsa. We look forward to the visionary projects and presentations ahead!
