The Oklahoma Arts Council sends this information as posted below:
Since 2008, hundreds of Oklahomans from every area of the state have graduated from the Oklahoma Arts Council’s Leadership Arts professional development program. The program gives Oklahomans the knowledge and tools to become arts leaders in their communities. Offered every two years, Leadership Arts returns next spring. Applications for the program open September 15.
Thirty Oklahomans representing communities across the state will be selected for the next class—Leadership Arts XIII. Class members meet during four, two-day spring sessions that take place in different Oklahoma communities. They graduate in the fall at the Oklahoma Arts Conference. Curriculum explores the arts’ role in economic development, education, workforce development, and quality of life, and sessions include group work, hands-on learning, panel discussions, and tours of community art spaces.
Oklahomans in arts and non-arts fields benefit from participating in Leadership Arts, where they can expand understanding of how the arts contribute to a robust economy, improve the image of communities of all sizes, serve as a centerpiece of community engagement, and cultivate a creative workforce. Past participants have included arts administrators, artists, business and civic leaders, community developers, tribal representatives, educators, volunteers, and others.
Learn more about the requirements and benefits of Leadership Arts. Get ready to apply beginning September 15!
