Tulsa Artist Fellowship, a place-based arts initiative established in 2015 by George Kaiser Family Foundation, recently announced an expansion in both funding and residency length for future fellows of the program. The 10 individuals chosen to represent the 2024-2026 cohort will be welcomed for a three-year award term rather than two, and will collectively receive more than $1.95 million in support and studio spaces in Tulsa.
“Tulsa Artist Fellowship’s newly expanded award model is a natural evolution of the program’s success, offering significant resources and support to fellows,” says Nathan Young, TAF artistic program producer and former fellow. “The new award structure will enable artists to contribute to the already thriving arts community in Tulsa by supporting innovative long-term projects that will help to sustain and grow the artistic vibrancy of the city.”
The application window for new fellows is Jan. 18-Feb. 16, and art workers of all disciplines demonstrating an established practice and innovative project proposal are encouraged to apply. Informational in-person meetings will be held for those interested locally.
