The Oklahoma Arts Council leads, cultivates, and amplifies the transformative power of the arts for all Oklahomans and their communities.
The Community Arts Grants offered by the Oklahoma Arts Council support significant cultural activities such as festivals, exhibits, and performances that contribute to Oklahoma's economy, culture, and quality of life. These grants aid eligible organizations in providing art-centered festivals, exhibits, and performances that impact their communities. New applicants must apply under the Small Grant Support category, which allows for three grants each fiscal year, requiring a 1:1 cash match, where half can be in-kind support. Applications must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the start of a project.
