Beat Boxes

Creating East Tulsa’s Soundtrack

Supported by WeStreet Credit Union and the City of Tulsa Arts Commission's Vision Arts Grant, the Beat Boxes Project is a public art initiative that brings together local artists, music, and culture to transform everyday spaces into vibrant, interactive experiences. Each traffic control box is inspired by a selected song and reimagined as a visual expression of sound, movement, and community. Through a QR code on each box, visitors can listen to the track that inspired the artwork, creating a seamless connection between what you see and what you hear, and celebrating the diverse creative voices of the Global District.

UNBOXED: The Inauguration Festival

Celebrating the installation of the Beat Boxes with a special music festival featuring the artists behind the songs that inspired this interactive experience.

The celebration also marked the opening of two new spaces in the Global District: Combat Warriors and Santa Cecilia Food Truck Park, bringing together our artistic, musical, and local community for an incredible night!
