Tulsa, OK
Tulsa's mural scene carries the weight of the city's complex history, with the Greenwood District's shadow informing a new generation of artists who use walls to reckon with the past while imagining a different future. Cherry Street and the Brookside corridor offer more commercial mural contexts where public art is woven into the fabric of everyday urban life.
Featured Artists
All artists →Aisha Powell
Powell's work is inseparable from Tulsa's grappling with the 1921 Greenwood Massacre, creating murals that memorialize what was lost, celebrate what survived, and envision what is being rebuilt. She has spent a decade in conversation with Greenwood survivors and their descendants, and her murals carry that accumulated testimony in every color choice and compositional decision.
Haruki Tanaka
Tanaka explores Oklahoma's often-overlooked Japanese-American history through murals that blend traditional Japanese aesthetic sensibilities with the imagery of Oklahoma's prairie landscape. His Cherry Street work creates unexpected bridges between cultures, places, and historical moments, drawing connections that challenge simplistic narratives about who belongs in the American heartland.
Grace Okoro
Okoro's Brookside murals draw on the visual forms of Oklahoma's native tallgrass prairie, translating the textures and colors of the ecosystem into flowing abstract compositions that feel simultaneously natural and otherworldly. Her work has brought environmental consciousness and ecological imagery to commercial corridors that rarely engage with the landscape history beneath them.
