Thank you, Allied Arts OKC!

"When the arts thrive, communities thrive." 🎨🎭🎶🎬✨

We're proud to introduce the leadership team for the 2027 Allied Arts Campaign: Campaign Chairs Katie and Taylor Shinn and Honorary Chairs Martha Burger and Donald Rowlett.

Together, they'll lead a communitywide effort to raise $4 million in support of nearly 50 arts and cultural organizations that strengthen education, drive economic growth and enrich quality of life across central Oklahoma.

Pictured alongside them are artists representing Allied Arts member agencies, whose creativity, talent and impact make our community a more vibrant place to live, work and play.

The 2027 campaign officially kicks off next year, but it's not too early to join us in championing the arts and the cultural organizations that strengthen our community.
