Rural Arts Opportunity Grants

The Oklahoma Arts Council offers Rural Arts Opportunity Grants to support capacity building, professional development activities, and learning-based or audience-based arts programs in select rural counties. The grants aim to expand arts programming, establish arts infrastructure, and support arts opportunities in geographically isolated and socioeconomically under-resourced communities. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, city, county, and tribal governments, and public libraries located in specified rural counties. Grants up to $5,000 are available with a 1:1 match requirement, half of which may be in-kind support. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
