There’s a lot happening across Oklahoma’s creative community this month, and we’re excited to celebrate the people, projects, and partnerships moving our industries forward.

On the film side, October brings the return of The Lowdown! Season 2 premieres October 14 on FX, bringing another major production filmed in Tulsa to audiences. It’s always exciting to see our city on screen and celebrate the local crew, locations, and creative talent that help make productions like this possible. We’re also looking forward to OKMPA Pitchfest+, bringing Oklahoma’s film community together to spark new conversations, build connections, and help move projects forward.

On the music side, we’re excited to see our new MOKA pilot program get underway, creating opportunities for Tulsa musicians to connect with audiences across the region. We’re also looking forward to our next Mix & Master (RSVP Here), continuing to bring local musicians and industry professionals together for learning and connection. We also recently celebrated the reopening of the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame and its important role in recognizing the artists and music history that have helped shape our state’s identity.

Spotlight Story
MOKA Artist Exchange

Tulsa FMAC is launching MOKA, a pilot program designed to help local musicians build regional audiences and gain experience touring outside of Tulsa. In partnership with CACHE, Lawrence Music Alliance, and KKFI Kansas City, FMAC has developed a regional touring route connecting artists with new audiences and opportunities across Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas.

The first MOKA showcases featured Tulsa musicians Micaela Young and Marlee Vox, who kicked off the program with performances in Lawrence and Kansas City this September. The exchange will continue October 16 and 17 with upcoming stops in Tulsa and Northwest Arkansas, giving artists the opportunity to share their music with new listeners, build connections with regional music communities, and experience what it takes to tour.

MOKA is built on the idea that when cities work together to support artists, music can travel further. By connecting regional music communities and creating opportunities beyond city limits, the pilot aims to help Tulsa musicians grow their audiences and open doors to future touring opportunities.
