Tonight! Support your local arts scene and visit our OKCityCard partners Collected Thread and wild.flower. Stop in and catch Altar Boyz at Lyric Theatre while you’re there!

How great does this show look?  I can't wait to see Altar Boyz!  I hear it will take me back to my *NSYNC days...

One of the top a cappella vocal groups in the world will make a rare US appearance in Oklahoma City at 7:30 pm on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011 when SALT joins the OK City Chorus for “A Pinch of Salt: Barbershop Harmony with a Swedish Flavor”.  SALT, 2007 women’s international quartet champions from Sweden, has created a worldwide fan base by blending superior vocal talents with superb comedic timing.

The OK City Chorus, an Allied Arts member agency, also brings an impressive set of a cappella credentials to the table having won their five-state regional competition on 18 separate occasions and garnering a number of international medals.  

“A Pinch of SALT” will be at the Yukon Fine Arts Center. General admission seating is $10 for children under 12 and $20 for adults.  Preferred seating is $25 for all ages.  Buy-one-get-one-free tickets are available for general admission tickets to those with an OK City Card from Allied Arts.

Tickets are available online at www.okcity.org or from any member of the OK City Chorus.  The box office at the Yukon Fine Arts Center will open at 6:30 for sales of remaining tickets or standby seating.  For more information, call 405-720-SING(7464) or visit http://okcity.org/events/upcoming-show.html.

 

October is National Arts & Humanities Month.  Although Allied Arts and our blog readers celebrate the arts every day of the year, October is the month to commemorate the arts in a BIG way.  In Oklahoma, the arts enrich our quality of life, enhance economic development efforts, and educate and inspire our youth in ways otherwise not possible. 

The arts also define who we are.  We are creative, diverse, energetic and meaningful.

We invite you to join us in celebrating National Arts & Humanities Month.  Of course, you can keep visiting our blog and reading about the many ways the arts impacts our community.  You can also celebrate by enrolling in an art class, visiting a local museum, seeing a play with your family or simply taking  a look around to realize how the arts are integrated into everyday life.

We want to hear from you.  Let us know how you are celebrating Arts & Humanities Month!

 

This week flew by!  It’s already time to check out the arts events that are happening this weekend.  Enjoy fall and enjoy the arts!
