Current Season

Season 56

Season 56 of the Art Directors Club of Tulsa is all about “Lore”—a celebration of the stories, traditions, and myths that inspire artistic expression. This theme invites members and the community to explore how narratives shape our culture and creativity. From ancient myths to contemporary legends, “Lore” provides a canvas for discovering the power of storytelling in art and design. This season, we aim to honor the past while inspiring fresh interpretations, blending timeless tales with innovative perspectives.

Throughout the season, expect immersive events, thought-provoking exhibits, and engaging workshops that highlight the essence of “Lore.” Whether you’re captivated by folklore, driven by personal history, or drawn to uncover hidden truths in visual storytelling, Season 56 promises something for everyone. Join us as we journey through the narratives that connect us all and inspire a deeper appreciation for the art of storytelling.

Bringing The Community Together

ADCT Events

For decades, the Art Directors Club of Tulsa has hosted events that not only bring the creative community together but also provide a powerful platform for creators to share their ideas and experiences. These gatherings have served as a space for education, inspiration, and meaningful dialogue—showcasing both local & national talent and fostering connections that strengthen our creative landscape. Through keynote speakers, Shop Talks, and community-driven initiatives, we continue to support growth, learning, and collaboration across generations.
