Allied Arts

We need YOUR help!

Following June’s heavy rains and flash floods, many of Oklahoma City’s premier arts organizations were left homeless as water rose higher than five feet in the Stage Center’s basement and office area.

Six arts organizations lost 75 to 90 percent of their property, from computer equipment to stage props to dance floors, leotards and shoes.

Allied Arts created an Arts Flood Emergency Fund to collect financial donations for the affected non-profits. To make a donation, please call (405) 278-8944 or mail to the Allied Arts office (1015 N. Broadway, Suite 200, Oklahoma City, OK 73120). Individuals can donate online at www.alliedartsokc.com.

We are also collecting the below new or gently used items to re-stock the groups’ performance supplies. Please drop off all donated items to 1015 N. Broadway, second floor.

• Arts and Craft Supplies: Paint and brushes, glue, glitter, oil pastels, construction paper, pottery clay and other children’s art supplies for summer camps

• Dance Apparel: Ballet, jazz and tap shoes and tight and leotards (size 3 T to adult)

• Costumes: Children’s costumes (size 5-16) in particular

• Dry Cleaning: Damaged costumes are in need of dry cleaning services

• Office Supplies: Scanners, office furniture (desks, chairs and file cabinets) and all other basic office tools

• Facility Space: One organization needs a theatre that holds 150-200 people where they can build sets, rehearse and perform beginning in August

Displaced arts organizations include: Artworks, Carpenter Square Theatre, Metropolitan School of Dance, Oklahoma Community Theatre Association and Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park. The Arts Council of Oklahoma City received substantial building and equipment damage due to the storm as well. 

Thank you for anything you can do!
