What is the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition?
The Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC) is a nonprofit organization supporting artists living and working in Oklahoma. See information about our history beginning in 1988 here. We believe that Oklahoma artists are worthy of support and can have vital and fulfilling careers. We also assume every artist’s path is distinctive, a core element of to our organizational values. We assist artists in taking action in their own artistic practice however they envision it. This means we provide tools, networks to other artists, funding, connections to audiences and information, and resources advantageous for artists living and working in Oklahoma. The tools and information are yours to use. We hope you’ll learn about artists, explore the website, read our publications, submit artwork, and take advantage of the face-to-face workshops and meetings. OVAC programs create a supportive framework for artists’ careers, helping them develop business structures to create and distribute their artwork. OVAC
