Join us at the Main Building’s Te Ata Theater for an evening of high-stakes creativity at Pitch Night Oklahoma. In partnership with ArtPrize and Firehouse Art Center, the event kicks off at 5:30 p.m. with a social hour featuring catered food and a cash bar, followed by the main competition at 6:30 p.m. Watch five selected Oklahoma artists pitch their artistic concepts to a panel of jurors, all competing for a $10,000 grant and a featured exhibition at ArtPrize 2026 in Grand Rapids. While the artist application deadline has passed, the public is encouraged to RSVP now to witness some of the state’s most innovative minds compete for this career-changing opportunity.
