Are you an artist who is interested in sharing your talents with the Tulsa community? Current opportunities are below.
Calling Tulsa-area artists! Take advantage of a unique opportunity to use your creativity to design an experience at the new Discovery Lab location.
In late 2021, the museum will be opening a new 50,000 square-foot museum in Tulsa’s Gathering Place Park. Discovery Lab projects to see over 250,000 visitors each year, including over 40,000 students on field trips.
While the majority of exhibits are in fabrication, Discovery Lab is seeking local artists who can further the museums’ vision to be “unique to Tulsa” by designing and installing unique, interactive experiences in the Skyways spaces that have yet to be detailed.
The Skyways consist of sky-high rooms designed to give visitors unique experiences high above the interactivity of the exhibit hall floor. Kids of all ages will love navigating the rooms through different climbers and kinesthetic experiences, but Discovery Lab wants to push this already unique experience even further through the addition of original, interactive works of art.
Artists working in a variety of media are welcome to submit original concepts for consideration, including musicians and artists working in digital media.
Please download and review the application packet for more details.
Application deadline: May 31st 2021
