Tulsa’s Hidden Heroines by Onyx Montes

Onyx Montes will host a zine-making workshop series and social sculpture project exploring the remarkable women in Tulsa’s history who have paved the way for future generations despite the odds stacked against them. Following a discussion about their incredible stories and why their contributions still resonate today, participants will channel that inspiration into creating their own zines. No prior experience in zine-making is required, and all materials and snacks will be provided. The events are free and open to anyone aged 14 and up.

About Artists Creative Fund
Artists Creative Fund is a program of George Kaiser Family Foundation made possible with the support from the Tulsa Community Foundation and CACHE. ACF provides grants annually to improve funding, visibility and professional development for Tulsa-based artists and creatives. In July 2024, 20 artists were selected to receive $10,000 to test, explore and create innovative work for debut during the grant period that concludes in March 2025.
GKFF is working in partnership with the Creative Arkansas Community Hub & Exchange (CACHE), a Northwest Arkansas based, regional arts services provider, which led the application process and professional development programming.
