The John H. Williams Theatre at the Tulsa PAC

TPAC Venue Subsidy

Northeast Oklahoma is lucky to have an incredible number of talented artists and organizations that support them. In order to ensure as many of those organizations can support art as possible, we’ve created a membership program to help cover the costs of hosting an event in our building. The grants we provide to our presenter partnerships help guarantee more art for our community.
