About the Oklahoma Arts Conference

The Oklahoma Arts Council organizes the biennial statewide Oklahoma Arts Conference to bring together the state's arts and creative industry for professional development and networking opportunities. Taking place every two years, the event serves hundreds of arts administrators, artists, community developers, educators, students, volunteers, and others involved in the arts and creative sector in Oklahoma.

Conference sessions feature nationally-recognized presenters who bring expertise on current topics and needs in the sector. The conference also highlights presenters and panelists from Oklahoma, showcasing examples of the excellent work being done in the arts in communities across the state. Sessions focus on nonprofit management, career development for artists, community and economic development through the arts, arts education, and more. Attendees participate in a variety of presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and performances, while evening events allow participants to experience the arts in the host community.

Every two years, the Oklahoma Arts Conference brings together hundreds of Oklahomans from the arts in one location where participants get equipped for success, gain and share ideas, and celebrate Oklahoma's vibrant and growing creative industry.
