ABOUT TRIQUETA CREATIVE GROUP
Triqueta Creative Group, Ltd. is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit arts organization that is dedicated to helping youth find their voice and life purpose through the creative arts.

Triqueta Creative Group is a young and energetic youth arts organization based in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Los Angeles, California. In the few short years since the group's beginnings Triqueta Creative has produced a string of highly acclaimed original musical productions, recordings, classes and programs for Tulsa's youth and young adults.  Being one of the few arts organizations in Tulsa that focuses on writing original pieces, Triqueta Creative Group has the ability to address issues that are relevant to our city and important to the youth and young adults in our country. Always careful to place the emphasis on entertainment, the work of founding directors Tim Long and Jerome Johnson has proven successful beyond expectation.  With nationwide recognition continuing to grow Triqueta Creative Group is building a reputation for highly entertaining and effective projects and programs that are helping youth discover their artistic voice and life purpose.

What is a "Triqueta?"
The Triqueta (pronounced "tri - keht - uh") is a symbol from early celtic art and architecture.  It's three interlocking arches represent completion, balance, and unity.  TRIQUETA CREATIVE GROUP, LTD. strives to use the Creative Arts as a tool to improve the complete individual: body, mind and spirit.  
  
 Who makes up Triqueta Creative?
Triqueta Creative Group, Ltd. was established in 1999 by Tim Long & Jerome Johnson. The founders have been working in the non-profit sector for the past 9 years, contracting their creative teaching style and artistic vision to many Tulsa area organizations including: Tulsa Public Schools, Greenwood Cultural Center, Tulsa Opera, Higher Dimensions, Inc.The Oklahoma Community Theatre Association, Youth Services of Tulsa and Greenwood Christian Center.
Over the past 9 years the founders of Triqueta Creative Group, Ltd. have written and produced 4 major stage musicals and several dinner theater shows, all performed to sold-out audiences. (With many new pieces in the works.) They have also conducted hundreds of workshops and classes in the Tulsa area and throughout the country, as well as starting several performance groups including: XSEED, Proskuneo Interpretative Dance Group and the inner-city dance team Funktional for the Greenwood Cultural Center.


Triqueta also has a proven track record of successful mentoring of local youth.  In fact many of their current volunteer and teaching staff started as students in their programs. A large percentage of young people who have passed through the Triqueta Creative Organization are now actively pursuing their life purpose in the arts.

The base of operations for Triqueta will move to Los Angeles in early 2005.  A Tulsa presence will remain as the organization expands its audience to the nationwide level.  Tim Long and Jerome Johnson will return to Tulsa in the future to establish a permanent base.

How can I be a part?
The Triqueta Creative team changes with each project.  Auditions for projects are always open to the general public, with particular consideration given to Tulsa/Los Angeles area students.  Mentoring programs operate through individual projects and are available for performers and non-performers.  Check the website often for upcoming projects and audition notices!
