ArtPrize 2026 Pitch Night Oklahoma

About

In partnership with ArtPrize and Firehouse Art Center, we're brings Pitch Night to Oklahoma! Five artists will be selected to take the stage for five minutes each on April 23, 2026, pitching bold, original concepts to a panel of five jurors—all competing for a $10,000 grant to bring their work to life at the 2026 ArtPrize event (September 17–October 3, 2026).

This grant is dedicated to proposals from artists 18 years and older from the state of Oklahoma. In addition to the grant, the selected artist will receive complimentary ArtPrize registration and hands-on support in securing a high-visibility exhibition venue during the event.

Pitch Night Oklahoma is open to the public and promises an evening full of energy, creativity, and bold thinking.
