About Us
Overview
Allied Arts represents and supports local arts groups in Oklahoma City and surrounding areas, and serves as the advocate for central Oklahoma's arts and cultural community.
Founded in 1971 as Oklahoma's only United Arts Fund, Allied Arts champions the arts by:
- Mobilizing critical resources to foster the dynamic growth of the arts
- Providing technological, administrative and other capacity-building assistance to ensure a sustainable arts community
- Creating awareness of the economic, cultural and educational value of the arts
Each year, Allied Arts executes an annual fundraising campaign to raise critical money for the organizations it supports. In its 42-year history, Allied Arts has raised more than $50 million to advance central Oklahoma's arts and cultural community.
The annual campaign kicks off in late January and runs through mid-May. To help, please visit the "donate now" or "get involved" sections.
