SAPAF CELEBRATES TWENTY YEARS OF EXCELLENCE AND IMPACT
2026 marks a major milestone for us: twenty years of bringing people together, inspiring and educating audiences and creating unforgettable experiences.
Since our founding in 2006; SAPAF has grown from a small idea into a leading presenting organization; synonymous with quality versatile programming; world-class artists; impactful community outreach and professionally managed shows that run like precision clock-work. Not surprising that during its relatively short existence SAPAF has emerged as one of the premier hosts of Northeast Oklahoma’s best international events with a uniquely South Asian flavor.
Over the past two decades SAPAF has presented hundreds of world-class artists in music, dance, theater, and comedy and welcomed thousands of audience members who share our love for the performing arts. In addition, through free lecture demonstrations and workshops conducted by such visiting artists at The University of Tulsa, University of Oklahoma, Tulsa Street School, Women in Recovery and a number of retirement communities, along with a liberal complimentary and discounted ticket policy for students and seniors, SAPAF has made a special effort to expand the reach of its programming and make it accessible and affordable to all.
Its increasing visibility is a testimony to the success of SAPAF’s initiatives and recognition of its role in enhancing cultural and artistic understanding of South Asian art forms in Oklahoma.
The fulfillment of SAPAF’s mission has been facilitated by the generous support of our patrons and multiple grants from the GKFF, OK Arts Council, Tulsa PAC Trust, Mid-America Arts Alliance, & Tulsa Community Foundation. We were also awarded a $6000 operational grant from Arts Alliance Tulsa (2019). We are inspired by the generosity of our donors and strive to be good stewards of the trust you place in us.
Our journey has been guided by a steadfast dedication to creativity, collaboration and community engagement.As we celebrate this milestone, we want to extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us-our audiences, artists, believers who gave us the seed money, our sponsors and partners. Your enthusiasm and trust have fueled our growth and inspired us to continue raising the bar.
The next chapter begins now. Join us this season as we honor our past, celebrate our present and look forward to the next twenty years of innovation, artistry and shared experiences.
