Tulsa's public art collection stems from the city's rich creative culture. It serves as a medium for community expression, reflecting the history, diversity and vibrancy of Tulsa. Public art enriches the city's parks, plazas, buildings, and streetscapes, enhancing a sense of pride and place in our shared public realm.
Tulsa developed one of the nation's earliest Percent for Art ordinances in the late 1960s, which requires that one percent of all vertical projects are dedicated to art. Accordingly, over 400 individual works of art, both permanent and temporary, are found throughout the city. Meanwhile, unsuspecting tourists are often surprised by Tulsa's architectural heritage, including this long legacy of arts investments. This legacy sets the stage for a renewed emphasis on arts and culture as a creative engine for our city's future.
