Arts Council of Oklahoma City is a nonprofit 501 C(3) organization that is dedicated to bringing the arts and the community together through free or low-cost large-scale downtown Oklahoma City cultural events and a variety of arts outreach activities that impact under-served populations.
The idea of bringing the arts and the community together began in 1967 with Festival of the Arts. In the past 40 years, the Arts Council of Oklahoma City has grown to present some the community's favorite events and performances, including Opening Night, Oklahoma City Storytelling Festival, and Sunday Twilight Concert Series. The Arts Council's Community Arts Programs teach Oklahoma City's youngest and most under-served artists to dance, sing, sculpt, paint, create and interact with professional of their crafts. Out of the Box is a series of street performances, bringing the preforming arts to Oklahoma City's busiest urban areas.
We focused on bringing the arts and the community together through free and low-cost arts programming. We are proud to expose our community to a variety of art forms for little or no cost. All of our programs focus on teaching, learning, and appreciating the arts. They help the residents of our city learn to create, experience, and enjoy art.
