Tulsa Artist Fellowship is a place-based, durational award focused on supporting independent arts practitioners.
Every year, Tulsa Artist Fellowship designates 10 new fellows from an open call process who will receive $150,000 over three award years in addition to a $12,000 yearly housing stipend, $1,200 yearly health stipend, $1,200 yearly studio assistant stipend, $1,500 relocation stipend, fully-subsidized studio spaces, and access to shared art-making facilities. Our program is integrated into a vibrant cultural district with galleries and performance venues, green space, independent retailers, and restaurants.
Tulsa Artist Fellowship recognizes that groundbreaking art practices thrive within an intention-setting framework. Awardees commit to actualizing a project during the three-year program term.
