Arts in Schools

Research demonstrates that sustained arts education improves students’ overall academic success, fostering creativity and equipping students to compete in a global economy. The Oklahoma Arts Council offers consultations, resources, and grants to assist school administrators and teachers in developing strong arts education programs.

Consultations

As a public agency our staff is available at no charge to consult with teachers, administrators, PTA’s and others who wish to improve their schools through arts education. Assistance can be tailored to meet the needs of individual sites.

For more information please contact our Director of Arts Education Programs.
