Did you know that Festival of the Arts takes about one calendar year to plan and execute? Our volunteer co-chairs, committees, and talented jurors take great care selecting over 140 visual artists, 20 food vendors, and 150 performing artists. One of the highlights of the jury process—and certainly the most delicious—is the annual Food Jury that takes place in January. 

With Festival of the Arts 2018 less than three months away, preparations are already in high gear!  While Festival Director Gilbert Magdaleno and this year’s event co-chairs, Molly McBride and Paul Tyler, have been hard at work since the summer, what truly marks the start of Festival season here at Arts Council Oklahoma City is our First Chairmen’s Meeting!

Today is your last chance to come see what the 51st Festival of the Arts has to offer!
