About the Building

Designed by Selser Schaefer Architects for the Arts and Humanities Council of Tulsa, the building opened on Dec. 16, 2012, at the northeast corner of East Archer Street and North Boston Avenue.

For nearly 10 years, it served as a community centerpiece for the arts until the organization closed its doors on Nov. 4, 2022. The University of Tulsa acquired the building in February of 2023 to reaffirm its commitment to the arts and humanities and has since invested in its infrastructure for expanded community engagement.
