Art Matters
Art matters to our children. Children who participate regularly in art activities are more likely to hold school leadership positions, volunteer in the community and have consistent school attendance.

Art matters to our economy. The arts create jobs, attract new residents and boost our tourism industry. The economic impact of the arts totals more than $486 million annually in Oklahoma County alone.
Art matters to our communities. Strong arts programs create a better quality of life. Arts revitalize neighborhoods and transform communities into thriving cultural hubs. Each year, more than two million people – from all walks of life – experience and enjoy the arts in Oklahoma.
Art matters to all. And a gift to Allied Arts benefits all.
