Arts Day Brings Sector Together at State Capitol

Wednesday, May 06, 2026



Hundreds of Oklahomans from the arts sector gathered at the state Capitol on April 30 for the annual Arts Day at the Capitol event, hosted by Oklahomans for the Arts. Held in the second-floor rotunda and the adjacent Hall of Heroes, the event featured performances throughout the morning and a lunchtime panel presentation focusing on using storytelling and data together to demonstrate the impact of the arts.

The staff of the Oklahoma Arts Council was on hand to greet and catch up with many of the day's attendees. Several of the agency's Governor-appointed Council members joined the staff at the Capitol, including Shannon Crites of Ardmore, Vice-Chair John Kennedy of Oklahoma City, and Carrie Leonard of Oklahoma City.
