What Guthrie Green does

Guthrie Green is a private nonprofit community venue operating since 2013 at 111 E Reconciliation Way in the heart of the Tulsa Arts District, transforming a former industrial freight yard and dump site into a free public green space that served 208,000 visitors and hosted 230+ free events in 2025. The core venue centers on an outdoor stage, splash pad, and lawn open daily from 6am to 11pm, supported by a Meyer Sound Leopard line array loudspeaker system (upgraded in 2023 with a configuration more than double the prior size, designed by in-house Production Manager Scott Bell) and dynamic Varilite lighting integrated by Gemini in Dallas, with on-site sustainability infrastructure comprising an HPGX geothermal well field, solar panels, bioswales, and LED lighting.

The company operates a portfolio of complementary assets: Fly Loft at 117 N Boston Ave offers three rehearsal studios (White Box 2,614 sq ft, Black Box 2,354 sq ft, Ballet Studio 1,852 sq ft) plus a conference room on an hourly rental basis; the LowDown listening room provides an intimate live-music venue; and En Fuego operates as an on-site tequila and taco bar restaurant licensed under the venue. Recurring programs include Food Truck Wednesdays (April–June weekly vendor market), Camp Guthrie (children's education series), Record Club (with Monad Records & Hi-Fi), Movie on the Green, the Off the Cuff Concert series, and the Blue Whale Comedy Festival. Guthrie Green is affiliated with Gathering Place as a sister park and is KultureCity Certified as a sensory-inclusive venue.

Guthrie Green earns revenue through a diversified mix of streams: event space rentals (private and corporate events booked via Triple Seat), Fly Loft studio rentals, food truck vendor participation fees, En Fuego licensing/F&B revenue, and donations/grants (processed through Blackbaud). Public access to the green and most programming remains free. The organization is led by Executive Director Julio Badin and a 16+ person staff spanning marketing, AV production, talent booking, community engagement, and brand partnerships, with governance and operational overlap into Gathering Place.

Emerging players

• Meow Wolf: Immersive arts and entertainment company operating experiential venues with concerts, food, and retail. Comparable as an emerging experiential-venue operator combining live performance, F&B, and community draw, though indoors and ticketed.

Direct peers

• Brooklyn Bowl: Live music venue combining concerts, bowling, and on-site food and beverage. Comparable to Guthrie Green's venue-plus-F&B (En Fuego) plus live-music combination, though ticketed and for-profit.
• Gathering Place: Guthrie Green's sister park in Tulsa; a 100-acre public park offering free programming, events, and recreation. Most directly comparable because it operates under the same nonprofit umbrella, shares cross-promotion and leadership, and runs a similar free-event community model with comparable sustainability ambitions.
• Levitt Pavilion: National network of free outdoor concert venues in cities across the U.S. offering free, family-friendly live music programming. Direct peer to Guthrie Green's free concert series model and outdoor community-venue concept.
• SummerStage in Central Park: Free outdoor performing arts series in NYC's Central Park, presenting concerts and community programming. Comparable to Guthrie Green's free concert series, Off the Cuff concerts, and community-led outdoor event programming.
• Cain's Ballroom: Historic Tulsa live-music venue located in the same Tulsa Arts District, hosting touring artists and concerts. Comparable as a Tulsa music-venue competitor that draws overlapping audiences for live performance, though ticketed rather than free.
• Pritzker Pavilion / Millennium Park: Chicago's flagship free outdoor performance venue hosting free concerts and cultural programming with grant-funded infrastructure. Highly comparable as a free public outdoor venue with professional-grade AV and a municipal/community programming model.
• Tulsa Theater: Restored historic Tulsa music venue in the Tulsa Arts District hosting concerts and live events. Direct competitor for live-music audiences and touring artists in the same neighborhood as Guthrie Green.

Broad incumbents

• House of Blues: National chain of live music venues with integrated food and beverage. Comparable as a live-music venue with on-site F&B and artist-booking operations; less comparable on free/community model.
• Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts: Major performing arts venue in Kansas City hosting concerts, theater, and opera. Comparable as an established nonprofit performing-arts venue operator with a regional draw, though indoor and ticketed rather than free outdoor.
