“Beginning in December, visitors will be invited to give us their BEST ideas — what we should Begin, Enhance, Stop or Think about doing to make their experience at Gilcrease fun, memorable and meaningful.”

“It’s been a season of change for the Gilcrease-TU family.”

“The academic community has lost a brilliant scholar, and the TU family has lost a dear friend.”

“My hope is that following the museum’s expansion, we have the staff and facility to make our collection come to life by telling stories that connect with our visitors.”

The University of Tulsa and Gilcrease Museum are pleased to announce that Alison Rossi has been named the museum’s director of learning and community engagement.

“I could hear him speak in the exhibition. It was more than just beautiful artwork; he experienced what he painted. He lived it.”

“We are excited to count ourselves among those committed to making this extraordinary vision a reality.”

Approximately 40 percent of the photos are one-of-a-kind, unduplicated images that do not exist in any other collections.
