Bartlesville Cultural Center

The Bartlesville Cultural Center is a multicultural community hub dedicated to preserving oral history, celebrating culture, and creating space for meaningful connection across generations. While we welcome and highlight the many cultures that shape our city, the preservation of local Black history and heritage remains central to our mission and identity.

The center believes cultural preservation is strongest when it creates space for shared understanding. Our work brings together people from across backgrounds to learn from one another, engage in thoughtful dialogue, and build a deeper appreciation for the diverse experiences that make up our community.

The Bartlesville Cultural Center exists to preserve the past with care, celebrate the present with intention, and invest in a future where local oral history is protected and shared for generations to come.
