EVENTS
Twisted Arts hosts events throughout the year dedicated to the work of Oklahoma 2SLGBTQ+ artists, with an emphasis on artists based in Tulsa. For Twisted Arts, our strategy is two-fold: a) host events for local 2SLGBTQ+ artists that expand their audience by working with national artists b) build an 2SLGBTQ+ artist economy in Oklahoma.
