Vivian Gray
March 4, 2027 | 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Event Details
Tune in, if you dare.
Vivian Gray is the production designer behind Obsession, Curry Barker’s breakout horror hit and one of the biggest films of the year. She’s also a director in her own right. A graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts and a recipient of the John Huston Scholarship for Directing, Vivian directed the pilot episode of Provenance, which won Best Drama at the 2023 Television Academy College Awards.
Vivian gravitates toward stories humming somewhere between control and chaos. She sees making as one of our best responses to a world that rarely behaves itself. Her process begins by consuming a story whole, then building it back out through spaces, objects, atmosphere and tiny decisions the audience may only feel.
Join us for a session on designing dread the old fashioned way, one creak, one shadow, one dead patch of static at a time.

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.
