Tulsa World covers the center, which will be located at Archer Street and MLK Boulevard, with a grand opening set for 2021.
Tulsa World recently highlighted the development of the Bob Dylan Center, showcasing the collaborative efforts of renowned Seattle-based architecture firm Olson Kundig and Tulsa’s own Lilly Architects, which serves as the architect of record. This coverage emphasizes the center’s role in cementing Tulsa’s status as a cultural and musical hub.
The George Kaiser Family Foundation has chosen Olson Kundig to lead the design, with Lilly Architects playing a pivotal role in ensuring the project’s seamless integration into the Tulsa Arts District. This partnership reflects Lilly Architects' commitment to preserving the city’s architectural identity while embracing forward-thinking design. Situated just east of the Hardesty Arts Center, the center will provide an immersive experience for visitors, historians, and musicologists alike.

As Tulsa-based architects, we at Lilly Architects take pride in contributing to a space that not only celebrates Dylan’s vast cultural impact but also enhances the architectural landscape of our city. This project joins our extensive portfolio of culturally significant spaces that honor Oklahoma’s rich artistic and musical traditions.
