Show Tulsa
What You've Got
ARTini Tulsa’s exclusive art auction is built on a simple idea: put great art in front of people who care about it, and make sure the artists behind the work are genuinely rewarded.
Each year, Arts Alliance Tulsa invites Oklahoma artists to submit work for the ARTini art auction — a curated showcase that pairs one-of-a-kind pieces with collectors, community leaders, and art enthusiasts. It’s a unique platform that puts your work front and center in a high-energy, gallery-like setting in the heart of the Tulsa Arts District.
Selected artwork is displayed at the ARTini Tulsa Exhibit, which opens mid-July and runs through the main event on August 15. That means your work isn’t just seen on event night — it lives in a curated gallery space well before the big night, reaching a broader audience of visitors, patrons, and supporters.
How It Works
The process is straightforward and designed to respect your work and your time. Submissions open in February, giving you several months to prepare your best pieces. Once selected, your work is professionally displayed and auctioned during the main event, with proceeds split evenly between you and Arts Alliance Tulsa.
There are no hidden fees. If your piece sells at or above the minimum, you receive half of whatever it goes for — and the other half goes directly to supporting more than 40 arts and culture nonprofits across Tulsa.
Why ARTini
ARTini isn’t a typical gallery show or silent auction. It’s a high-energy evening where art, fashion, food, and music collide — and your work is at the center of it. Guests come ready to engage, explore, and bid. The atmosphere is electric, the crowd is invested, and the event has a track record of connecting artists with collectors who genuinely value what they do.
Beyond the night itself, being part of ARTini connects you with Arts Alliance Tulsa’s broader network — a decade-old organization that has contributed more than $20 million to the local arts community. It’s visibility, credibility, and real financial support all in one evening.
