Mural Competition for
Regent Bank Amphitheater
Your Art. A Stage for Thousands.
ARTSOK is proud to partner with the VENU Arts and Culture Foundation, VENU, and Regent Bank Amphitheater to bring Oklahoma artists to the forefront of one of Broken Arrow’s most anticipated new spaces.
We believe art belongs everywhere people gather and that great venues are more than concert destinations, they are community landmarks. That is why we are inviting artists across the state to submit original artwork for installation at the new next-gen Regent Bank Amphitheater, where selected designs will be reproduced as large-scale murals seen by thousands of concertgoers every season.
This is exactly the kind of opportunity ArtsOK exists to create. Connecting Oklahoma artists, community, and live entertainment in a way that leaves a lasting mark.
The Prize A total of $5,000 in prizes will be awarded across three winners, with a top prize of $3,000 and featured mural installation for the First-Place artist.
Submissions open June 16, 2026. Deadline is August 16, 2026.
Let your art live loud.
THEME
The energy of live music. The spirit of Oklahoma. The connection between fans, artists, and the stage.
We are looking for bold, dynamic, original artwork that captures the feeling of live performance and the excitement of a new gathering place for Broken Arrow and the region. Interpret it in your own style — abstract, realistic, graphic, painterly, or anything in between.
- Possible inspiration includes:
- Live music and performance
- Oklahoma landscape, culture, color, movement, or identity
- Broken Arrow community pride
- The experience of gathering with friends, family, and fans
PRIZES
A total of $5,000 in prizes will be awarded across three winners.
- First Prize — $3,000: Artwork reproduced as the featured large-scale mural installation at Regent Bank Amphitheater
- Second Prize — $1,250: Artwork reproduced in a mid-size venue installation
- Third Prize — $750: Artwork reproduced in a smaller-scale venue installation
Final placement and format will be determined by VENU Arts and Culture Foundation, VENU, and the venue team based on production needs, available space, and artwork suitability. All prize amounts are gross and subject to applicable taxes or IRS reporting. Prize payments will be issued within 60 days after completion of required agreements and receipt of final high-resolution production files.
