Our Story

TULSA CREATIVE ENGINE is a 501c3 non-profit organization that aims to support Tulsa’s creative community by championing artists and musicians as entrepreneurs, and expanding the ecosystem of resources to help them thrive.

We believe Tulsa can be a city where creative talent is nurtured, where artists thrive as full-time entrepreneurs, and where creatives are invested in for the economic and cultural value they bring. So far our work has focused on providing artists resources like space for community and collaboration, professional development programs, network of connections 
to industry leaders and opportunities to perform and 
highlight their work.
