BRUCE GOFF • Birthday Celebration

This year’s Goff Fest will be a vibrant celebration of Bruce Goff’s legacy, taking place on the Sunday of Tulsa Tough and coinciding with race times in the area.

The front lawn of the Spotlight Theater will be transformed into a lively, family-friendly space. Activities will include the Scraps Playscape, photo opportunities with the iconic Goff puppet, face painting, and other interactive experiences designed for all ages. Shaded seating areas will be available to ensure a comfortable and welcoming environment for attendees throughout the day.

Inside the Spotlight Theater, visitors will find a reimagination of the traveling Goff exhibition, expanded to include new elements highlighting the history of Riverside Studio. This includes a focus on Patti Adams Shriner, the studio’s original owner, and artist Olinka Hardy, who created the original murals for the recital hall. Guests will also enjoy a live feed of the Tulsa Tough race, interwoven with short films about Bruce Goff and his work.

The event will feature exclusive Goff Fest merchandise for sale, while refreshments and concessions will be available from the Spotlight Theater.

This year’s festival also marks an important transition for the organization. As we move away from event production and into content creation, we will be promoting the upcoming screening of Britni Harris’ documentary Goff, along with the announcement of a new podcast set to launch early next year. Goff Fest 2025 invites the community to celebrate the past, present, and future of creative innovation inspired by Bruce Goff.
