OKLAHOMANS FOR
THE ARTS
In May 2011, a group of business executives and civic leaders created Oklahomans for the Arts. OFTA is the first nonprofit in Oklahoma whose primary mission is formal advocacy for public funding for arts, culture and arts education in Oklahoma. We are part of a nationwide network that includes nearly 40 state arts advocacy organizations, and we'd love for you to join. Thank you for your interest in Oklahomans for the Arts! -- Jennifer James McCollum, APR, Executive Director
