Arts Council of Oklahoma City

Description

The Arts Council supports the beliefs that arts define and are vital for a healthy community; service is the cornerstone for all our activities and programs; arts unite and celebrate the diversity of our community; arts education is a lifelong process; volunteers are the lifeblood and soul of the organization; and collaboration and partnerships are essential elements of the Arts Council.

To support our beliefs in the arts, the Arts Council produces
• The Festival of the Arts, an annual six-day community celebration of the visual, performing and culinary arts during the last week of April
• Opening Night, a family-oriented New Year's Eve Performing Arts event featuring over 30 performing groups in venues in Downtown Oklahoma City
• WinterTales Storytelling Festival educates the community to the time-honored tradition of storytelling and features nationally-known tellers in performances and workshops
• Summer Twilight Concerts provide free, weekly outdoor concerts in a family picnic atmosphere
• Stage Center Theatre facility provides meeting, office, rehearsal and performance space for local visual and performing arts companies and national touring productions.
• Community Arts Programs include arts projects, primarily for under-served children, which are developed in collaboration with community partners who share our belief that access to quality arts programming can make a difference in a child's development.
