Event Details
It’s the moment you’ve been dialing in for… Art Directors Season 58 is coming to you LIVE from Heirloom Rustic Ales on September 1st at 6 PM.
Join us for the kickin’est kick-off party this side of the record. We’re laying down some sick tracks (cluing you in to our season schedule), serving up some tasty licks (food brought to you by Masa), and partying down with some of Tulsa’s most creative cats (vendors and creatives out the wazoo).
Stop by, sign up, and tune in to this season’s frequency with our Season 58 board. We’ve got all new season merch, and all new opportunities to connect you with our killer scene.
Oh, did we mention that anyone who signs up to be a season member at our kick-off will get a tidy little 10% discount on their membership? Well, they do. More to come listeners, don’t touch that dial.

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.
Graphex
An annual art and design competition featuring the best work of Tulsa creatives! Guest judges from across the country critique both professional and student work. Student portfolio winners are awarded cash prizes and winning work will be on display and celebrated during an elegant award ceremony.
Kern & Burn
An annual fast-paced design competition where designers, copywriters, misfits and creatives of all types band together to crank out their best work under the tightest deadlines. Teams must fight their way through 3 fiery rounds of audience banter and fierce judgment, using only the design assets provided to them.
Shop Talk
A free event that gives our membership base and the Tulsa community an opportunity to join us for a behind the scenes look at inspirational places and people in our city. Previous Shop Talks have included tours, Q&A’s, and open houses. We use this time to get to know each other, share ideas, and keep things casual.
Speaker
Each season brings notable guest speakers from the creative industry including designers, illustrators, photographers, art directors and more. They come from around the country to inspire our advertising and art community.
