Inspire. Empower. Connect.
Studies show, and we witness daily, the positive effect that an arts education has on students’ academic, emotional and social outcomes, improving their self-esteem, sense of belonging and hopes for the future.
Yet, access to arts programming in public school systems is declining. Since 2007, Tulsa Girls Art School has worked to be part of the solution by providing 10 years of art instruction, mentorship, and aspirational experiences for up to 75 girls attending Tulsa Public Schools.
Art is the vehicle. Growing resilient, strong self-determined young women is the goal.

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 3rd 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 an account to be used for the student’s future educational expenses.
