About the Namesake Project

The Namesake Project provides students the opportunity to research their school and/or community “namesake(s)” and origins as a catalyst for creating a piece of critical, place-based writing. 

Participants will be published in an anthology, which offers greater visibility and validation to teens who are committed to building their writing skills.

Previous workshops have been for students in grades 9-12 in the Greater Tulsa area. This summer we are expanding to include a specific workshop catering to 4th, 5th & 6th graders.

The Namesake Project is a new community outreach initiative facilitated by Tri-City Collective and funded by the Tulsa Artist Fellowship.
