Tulsa welcomes the world’s top music industry leaders, policymakers, and creatives to explore the city’s deep musical heritage.
KJRH covered the exciting news that Tulsa has been selected to host the 2022 Music Cities Convention, a global gathering of music industry professionals, policymakers, academics, and city leaders. The event will explore music's profound impact on urban development and Tulsa’s place as a historic music hub.
Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum expressed the city's pride in hosting the convention, emphasizing Tulsa’s vibrant and eclectic music history. The event, hosted by the Tulsa Office of Film, Arts & Culture, will include two days of conventions and a curated music tour showcasing iconic venues like Cain’s Ballroom, the BOK Center, the soon-to-open Bob Dylan Center, and other key landmarks like Church Studio and OKPOP, all honoring Tulsa’s rich musical legacy.
Lilly Architects has played an integral role in preserving and enhancing Tulsa’s music history, contributing to significant projects like the Bob Dylan Center and Church Studio, which celebrate the city’s cultural and artistic roots.
This convention further amplifies Tulsa’s standing as a key player in the music industry. The Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Arts & Culture recently launched the Tulsa Music Strategy, a five-year plan aimed at enhancing the city’s music ecosystem, which already boasts an economic impact of $335 million.
