To support arts programs services and activities associated with carrying out the agency's national endowment for the arts-approved strategic plan

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded a $1,002,100 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025) to the Oklahoma Arts Council, the state arts agency for Oklahoma. The grant funding, which covers the period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, will support the implementation of the Council's NEA-approved strategic plan to provide arts programs, services, and activities to the people of Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma Arts Council utilizes this strategic partnership grant model to maintain a statewide network that enhances access to the arts. The Council delivers grants, arts education initiatives, fellowships, and other services through sub-awards to regional arts organizations, arts councils, museums, theaters, and other cultural institutions across the state. These partners provide programming including performances, exhibitions, arts education, and community engagement activities with the grant funds administered by the Oklahoma Arts Council.
