We’re thrilled to introduce the Co-Chairs for the 58th annual Festival of the Arts: Jody McAnally and Pat Lewis!

Jody skipped school in 1974 to volunteer at Festival of the Arts, and despite getting caught, she’s been coming back to help ever since, working in nearly every Festival area over the years.

Pat first got involved with Festival of the Arts in 2011 through his work with OG&E, where he helped bring a team of volunteers to assist on Festival grounds. He says he’s a huge supporter of the arts, quickly fell in love with the event, and has been involved ever since.

Jody and Pat have spent countless hours over the last year helping plan the Festival and have been instrumental in bringing volunteers together to ensure the event is bigger and better than ever! Both agreed that forming relationships with the volunteers is among their favorite parts of Festival, along with checking out new art, seeing the smiles on visitors` faces, and the delicious food on International Food Row.

They both said they’re honored to be selected as Co-Chairs and believe changes to this year’s Festival will take the event to the next level.

We hope you’ll come join Jody, Pat, and thousands of volunteers, artists, and performers in Bicentennial Park April 25 – 28 to experience Oklahoma’s biggest celebration of the arts!

We’re thrilled to unveil the poster for the 58th annual Festival of the Arts! Thanks to our friends at @icgadv for going above and beyond to create this year’s design.

Utilizing high-speed and slow-motion cameras, ICG documented the process of acrylic ink being delicately dropped into a tank filled with water. Simultaneously releasing various colors, they aimed to achieve a unique blend of hues. Extracting numerous shots from the footage, they curated the visual aesthetic that will be at the forefront of this year’s Festival of the Arts. The captivating interaction between the ink and water beautifully reflects the lively diversity of Oklahoma City, with each swirl and ripple resonating with the city’s rich tapestry of culture and community.

We couldn’t be happier with the finished result! Want to put up a poster in your house or business? Swing by our office and we’d be happy to send one home with you!
