Tulsa Time
Contemporary art, in all its forms, strengthens the fabric of the community, encourages dialogue and creates new opportunities for collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
What we support
GKFF invests in artists and art institutions in multiple ways. In addition to supporting long-standing art institutions, we support programs that:
- Provide artists-in-residencies and shorter term awards for specific works and events
- Invest in innovative programs that further stimulate Tulsa’s growing arts community
- Attract and retain talent and spur economic progress that creates opportunities in Tulsa
- Bring exciting events, festivals, and notable figures to Tulsa
- Assist general operations of long-standing arts institutions
The Tulsa Artist Fellowship has given me the time and resources to pursue my creative practice, here, near my tribal community. And the fellowship locates me within an inspirational community that inspires my art-making.”
