The Chickasha Area Arts Council

The Chickasha Area Arts Council 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 Scie

nce 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: Gregory Myers🌟

We’re excited to spotlight this week’s Featured Artist, Gregory Myers!

Gregory is a local artist whose expressive landscape paintings capture the feeling of being immersed in nature — from glowing woodland light filtering through the trees to peaceful waters stretching across the horizon. Using bold color, layered brushwork, and an impressionistic approach, each piece focuses less on exact detail and more on atmosphere, movement, and emotion.

Come check out his eye-catching work in the Area Arts Shop and Fine Art Gallery, located at 521 W. Chickasha Ave.
