More than 140 talented visual artists from across the nation will line the streets in downtown Oklahoma City for the 56th Annual Festival of the Arts on April 19-24.
The event will take in OKC’s Bicentennial Park.
“Festival of the Arts would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our volunteers,” said Volunteer Co-Chair Kristen Torkelson. “They will devote countless hours of time and effort in the coming weeks to ensure Festival is a fun-filled event for the over 750,000 people who will attend.”
Along with over 250 visual and performing artists, the 2022 Festival of the Arts will feature the return of the traditional food tents. Additionally, an expanded family area on the east side of City Hall will offer entrainment, art projects and more for younger visitors just starting their lifelong love of Festival of the Arts, said organizers.
“We’ve heard from so many people who did everything they could to support us through the pandemic, but who truly missed enjoying the spring season at Festival of the Arts.” said Executive Director Peter Dolese. “We are immeasurably excited to bring back the traditions Oklahoma City, and visitors from across the country, look forward to every year.”
