TULSA, Okla. —

The new Dylan Center is opening steps away from a museum that honors Woody Guthrie, one of the Nobel laureate's musical heroes and influences.

Officials announced plans for the center in 2016 when the George Kaiser Foundation helped bring his secret archives to Tulsa.Center Director Steven Jenkins will speak at the event, in addition to George Kaiser Family Foundation Executive Director Ken Levit, U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo and author Hannibal Johnson. Musical performances by Cherokee musician Agalisiga Mackey and Sistema Tulsa will also take place.
