Board of Trustees
The Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust is a nonprofit organization formed with private funds in 1977 after the construction of the City of Tulsa’s Tulsa Performing Arts Center. Its Board of Trustees, appointed by the City of Tulsa mayor, share a passionate love of the arts and a dedication to the cultural life of the city.
TPACT operates the TPAC, producing and hosting entertainment, assisting with facility improvements, providing grants to local arts organizations and more. The programming features a wide range of events including headline and main stage acts, music, theatre for young audiences and educational workshops that appeal to both families and mature audiences — just to name a few.
