Children engaged in art activities are more likely to hold school leadership positions, volunteer in the community and have consistent school attendance.

The arts create jobs, boost tourism and attract new residents. The nonprofit arts industry generates $872.8M in economic activity statewide annually.

Strong arts programs revitalize neighborhoods and transform communities into thriving cultural hubs, reaching more than one million people in Oklahoma.

The nonprofit arts industry supports about 38,965 full-time equivalent jobs statewide.
