To support, encourage, coordinate, and promote high-quality activities and programs in the arts and humanities.

The Council was incorporated in 1991 as the Wash*ta Valley Arts Council until its reorganization in 2003 as the Chickasha Area Arts Council. The council was revitalized as a direct response of community strategic planning through the Oklahoma Community Institute in 2002 with the responsibility of providing a focus to arts activities in the area. The council collaborated with the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma and the local community theater not to duplicate arts experiences but to expand arts and cultural experiences to the area. Specific initiatives addressed identified community weaknesses in the following areas: *Community Pride (stemming from oil busts from the 20’s and 80’s) *Arts Access to Classes and Workshops (due to rural nature of community.) Activities resulting from board directives is and has addressed these issues with the following activities: *Public Art collaborations with local city government *A cultural/history tour of the local cemetery featuring actors portraying community citizens *Annual arts festival for families in the local park *Annual workshops based on community input (including Ballroom Dancing, Poetry, Creative Writing, Theatrical Improvisation, and Music Therapy) *Enhancement and support of a children’s multi-disciplinary arts camp called ArtScope.

🌟 Featured Artist: Allyn Kowalski 🌟

We’re excited to shine a spotlight on an artist whose work brings together creativity, color, and a little bit of whimsy!

These unique floral arrangements are anything but ordinary. 🌼 Instead of traditional blooms, the artist transforms vintage buttons, beads, wire, and repurposed vessels into charming, one-of-a-kind botanical sculptures. Each arrangement has its own personality, with playful details, textures, and beautiful combinations of color.

We love seeing artists find new life in forgotten objects and turn them into art that makes you stop, smile, and take a closer look!

🎨 Come support local artists and discover more unique handmade creations at the Chickasha Area Arts Council!

☀️🎨 Summer at the Chickasha Area Arts Council! 🎨☀️

What a creative summer we’ve had! We’ve loved filling our spaces with creativity, laughter, learning, and plenty of amazing artwork. 💛

Our Summer Open Studio gave artists of all ages the opportunity to come in, get creative, try new projects, and simply enjoy time making art. From painting and drawing to experimenting with different materials, it was wonderful to see our studio buzzing with creativity!

We also had an incredible group of talented young artists join us for our Teen Art Camp! 🎨✨ Throughout the week, students explored traditional art techniques, worked with ceramics, challenged themselves creatively, and gained new skills—all while making friends and having fun.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated, supported our programs, and helped make these summer opportunities possible. We are so proud of the creativity and enthusiasm our community continues to show!
