open call for the 2026-2028 tulsa artist fellowship award

Tulsa Artist Fellowship is a place-based, durational award focused on supporting independent contemporary arts practitioners.

Every year, Tulsa Artist Fellowship designates 10 new awardees from an open call process who will receive $150,000 over three award years, $12,000 yearly housing stipend, $1,200 yearly health and wellness stipend, $1,200 yearly studio support stipend, $1,500 moving stipend, fully subsidized studio space, and access to shared art-making facilities, including ceramics, wood, printing, and media studios.

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.

Our studios and programming space are integrated into a vibrant downtown cultural district with museums, galleries, performance venues, green space, independent bookstores and retailers, restaurants, and more.
