The Artists Creative Fund is a program of George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF) to provide funding, visibility, and professional development to artists and creatives living in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Through this fund, 20 project-specific awards of $10,000 each will be invested in a diverse group of artists to test ideas, explore collaborations, and build skills in the process of generating innovative creative work.

This fund rewards artistic accomplishments to date and supports the continued development of creative projects in dance, theater, music, spoken word, performance art, traditional and folk arts, visual art (2D and 3D), film, literary arts, and/or any multi-disciplinary combination of the above. Grantees will be asked to hold one public-facing event with Tulsa audiences during the grant period.

GKFF is working in partnership with Creative Arkansas Community Hub & Exchange (CACHE), which will lead the application process and professional development programming.
