Thrive Grants program, managed by Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition,  encourages artists to take risks and engage audiences in new ways. The program believes artists throughout Oklahoma have the creativity and potential to push the boundaries of  the state’s visual culture, and this fund will offer them the opportunity to thrive in ways not previously possible. 

Thrive Grants will fund 12 artist-led, collaborative projects from across the state of Oklahoma though grants of $5,000 each. The funded projects will culminate in a public-facing program such as a non-traditional exhibition, performance, screening, or another publicly accessible outcome. The grants will prioritize artist projects that create new collaborations, connections, and partnerships. This cross-disciplinary approach strengthens outcomes and fuels creativity.

“The terrific range of project proposals we receive each year speaks to the mobile and porous disciplinary boundaries of contemporary art practice, and to the rich and inventive ways writers approach art today. They are alert to the urgent need to expand the conventions of art history and criticism with ideas from other discourses, such as black studies, transnational and diaspora studies, gender and women’s studies, and LGBT studies. The work of lesser known and overlooked artists and art communities continues to be mined, with writers articulating new ways to counter the striking imbalances of race, class and gender that continue to affect the arts and the culture industry.”
