Our Story
We exist to awaken purpose, ignite identity, and unleash creative expression—for the glory of God and the good of the world.
Our mission is to empower creatives with purpose, identity and artistic expression. We are a faith based nonprofit who reaches all ages. In 2011, Red 12 began with classes in dance, drama and voice; as well as character development and leadership training.
That summer Red 12 led classes in arts camps in Oklahoma and Arkansas, but that was just the beginning. Since then, we have traveled to Quito, Ecuador, performing in front of 5,000 youth at Brilla Youth Conference. There we mobilized 90 area dancers for a flash mob at the city square.
The next year, in LA we performed in three area churches and youth conferences and attended workshops held just for us by leaders in the entertainment industry; such as Reyna Joy Banks, CEO of For His Glory Productions, and award winning actress and vocal coach, Dianne Venora.
The following year, in Atlanta we led Youthreach Urban Youth Conference. When we returned to Tulsa, , Red 12 moved into a new facility that housed, Red 12 Studios and Academy. We partnered with The Demand Project,
performing the original play "The Puppet House" in local high school assemblies, warning of the traps of sex trafficking and promoting internet safety.
Later Red 12 studios moved into a new facility in West Tulsa for the purpose of reaching the many at risk youth in the area, Since then, Red 12 ministered at the Girls Teen Summit at the Tulsa Dream Center and the National Symposium for Racial Reconciliation.
In 2022 our name was changed to Red12Nation and went from working mainly with urban youth to artists of all ages. From our TNG classses (The Next Generation, ages 7- 13) and classes For for artists 14-50, The Bethany Company, Red12Nation has become a creative Community for all ages for the Glory of God.
