The Artists Creative Fund is an annual grant program that provides funding, visibility, and professional development to artists and creatives living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This program—created by the George Kaiser Family Foundation and led by CACHE—invests 20 project-specific awards of $10,000 each in a diverse group of artists to test ideas, explore collaborations, and build skills while generating creative works.

“ACF has allowed me to connect not just to artists, not just to curators, but to people in the community who don't realize how art can help them think about the things that affect their daily lives.”
