As is the tradition, Festi-First VIPs (Very Important Purchasers) help support the arts and artists by committing to purchase at least $500 in artwork during Festival of the Arts and will once again kick off with a private event on Tuesday, April 24, at 7:30am.
Hopefully you noticed our new name, the “Festi-First Program”, which is a nod to those of you who are the “first at Festival” to purchase art. With the new name are some new perks! Once committed, you will receive:
- The chance to purchase art before Festival opens - without crowds, before the public can access, with free delivery in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area (glass, clay and sculpture works not included)
- An invite to the Sneak Preview - A party at the elite Courtside Club in the Chesapeake Arena so you can preview artwork prior to Festival while enjoying the very exclusive club and exquisite food and drink
- Certificates featuring your company or family name - one for each purchase, displayed on Artist Row during the entire festival for 750,000 people to see
- Free parking and free breakfast - on Tuesday, April 24 at 7:30am, we’ll have a barista and mimosas – something for everyone!
- A personal guide - to help you make some wonderfully difficult decisions (optional)
- Festival of the Arts Hospitality Suite Pass - the VIP pass you’ll receive on Tuesday morning doubles as an access card into the McAlpine Center indoor restrooms and a temperature controlled place to eat your Festi-food all week long.
- Discount on Import Beer - Your VIP pass will get you $1 import beer at the South Hudson Gallery Tent all week long
Breakfast is 7:30 - 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 24 and the artists will open for you at 7:30 a.m. This private event is just for Festi-First VIPs! To preview the artwork at Festival, click HERE!
