INSPIRE. EMPOWER. CONNECT.

Tulsa Girls Art School, a nonprofit located in Kendall Whittier, is an after-school art and youth development program that provides support and resources to over 75 at-promise girls annually — all at no cost to the girl or her family. Students are chosen for enrollment based on their promise for future growth and success when provided with needed resources and community support. Girls can begin the program as early as third grade and continue through high school.  

Classes are available multiple times a week and students are supported with transportation, healthy meals and snacks, art supplies, mentorship and importantly, a safe, consistent all-girl space where they are free to put themselves and their needs first.

Two annual art shows help students learn business skills and financial awareness. 6th — 11th grade receive 50% of their art sale proceeds. Seniors receive 100%. These funds are deposited into a savings accounts to be used for the student’s future educational expenses.
