Dedicated to the Fine Arts

We're Tulsa’s community art studio! WaterWorks Art Center offers programs for both adults and children, including a variety of classes and workshops in ceramics, drawing, painting, glass fusing, jewelry, basket making, weaving, and more. We also host an annual summer art camp for kids ages 6-12 and special "Tween" art classes for ages 12-15.

Our mission: Art for everyone!

Summer Program registration is underway! Online Registration is available and preferred to help minimize the need to touch cash, checks, and credit cards, or you may complete a Class Registration Form and bring it to WaterWorks Art Center or mail it.

Please note: A 25% additional fee will be assessed for non-residents of the City of Tulsa, and all patrons ages 10 and over must obtain a FREE Tulsa Parks ID card to participate in activities at any Tulsa Parks Community Center. Please ask the recreation staff for more details.

Open Studio Policies

Our facilities are available for use beyond our workshops and classes. Do you need more time to finish up class projects or dive more deeply into the material? Open Studio time is a great way to build a stronger art practice and nurture our artist community.

For a daily Open Studio fee, you are welcome to access most work spaces for use of tools and equipment. Students must have completed a course (excludes one-day workshops) in the medium studio area to ensure safe use of materials and equipment. Release and waiver forms as well as policy & procedures documents must be signed by clay and metalsmithing/jewelry students and any other specialty workshops and/or special events as deemed necessary. Each studio has their own schedule and policies. For more info, please call or visit our website: www.waterworksartcenter.com/open-studios.
