One of the best places in Tulsa to see amazing local and national art for free! TAC is supported through contributions, art sales, and membership dues.
The Tulsa Artists’ Coalition (TAC) is a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization of artists and art supporters, formed to support artists in Tulsa and the surrounding area. The Tulsa Artists' Coalition (TAC) is a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization of artists and art supporters, formed in 1986 to encourage and support emerging and established contemporary artists, and to foster the development of new forms and multidisciplinary work in Tulsa and surrounding communities. The TAC Gallery
Long ago, TAC decided that the best way to support artists was to provide them with a venue to display quality, contemporary art—especially work which may not otherwise have a home in a traditional commercial gallery. As a result, we created the TAC Gallery, which since 1996 has resided in the heart of the Tulsa Arts District. Each year, the TAC Gallery hosts approximately ten month-long shows by artists in a variety of media and 1-2 group shows.

'Organism and Energy'
Mazen Abufadil
TAC Gallery
Opening: Friday, October 2, 2026
Exhibition: October 2 – 24, 2026
Through his distinctive photo-fresco process—a fusion of photography and traditional fresco techniques developed over decades—the artist presents a body of work that explores the quiet, visceral experiences that exist beyond language. Created over the past three years, these works reflect on our interconnectedness with the natural world and one another, where memory, sensation, and emotion become shared experiences. Rooted in the expansive landscapes of Oklahoma, the exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the unseen rhythms that bind us together as both creators and participants in the continual ebb and flow of existence.

Join us at TAC Gallery on Friday, September 25, for an evening with artist Laurel Payne, whose exhibition BODY is on view throughout September.
Payne will discuss her expressive approach to portraiture, including her creative process, artistic influences, and intuitive use of line, color, gesture, and composition to explore identity, connection, and the human experience.
Come hear more about the ideas and process behind the work—and see BODY before it closes September 26.

Join us for the opening of BODY, a solo exhibition by Laurel Payne, on Friday, September 4, from 6–9 PM during the First Friday Art Crawl.
Working in watercolor, pen and ink, and mixed media, Payne creates expressive, non-traditional portraits exploring identity, emotion, and human connection. Through intuitive mark-making, vibrant color, and spontaneous applications of paint and ink, her work invites us to consider how emotion and perception shape the way we see one another.
