Te Ata Theater at Oklahoma Contemporary

ArtPrize is bringing Pitch Night back to Oklahoma!

Five artists will be selected to take the stage at the Te Ata Theater on April 23 for five minutes each, pitching bold, original concepts to a panel of expert jurors. One artist will walk away with a $10,000 grant to bring their work to life at ArtPrize 2026 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, taking place September 17 through October 3, 2026.

This is where ambitious ideas meet real opportunity.
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.
