Give us the gist of your organization, Twitter-style (that means 140 characters or less).
The mission of City Arts Center is to provide interactive arts experiences through exhibits, classes and events.

What does your organization bring to Central Oklahoma?
City Arts Center is a community school of the arts that offers free admission to exhibits as well as very affordable art classes for both children and adults.

List a few things that your organization is looking forward to in the coming year.
City Arts Center is excited about our 17th Annual Café City Arts on January 29, 2010.

We also have several great artists lined up for the spring and are looking forward to having children invade our building during our summer camp season.

We are also excited about our 6th Annual Midnight Streak next July. In 2009, we had over 400 more runners than we did in 2008. We are hoping to increase the number of participating runners again in 2010!

How can people get involved with your organization?
If you are interested in art, you can visit City Arts Center at any time to view our art for free. If you would like to volunteer, we have numerous volunteer events. Contact 405-951-0000 if you are interested in volunteering!

Name your favorite piece of art or art performance.
It is impossible to name a favorite piece of art. We have so many amazing artists walk through our door, we couldn’t just name one!

Which artist would you most like to meet?
I think we are all very interested in meeting Jason Hackenwerth in April. He will be our April/May show. If you don’t know about Jason, he is definitely worth checking into! http://www.jasonhackenwerth.com/
