    What members are saying...
    “OVAC helps me keep my finger on the pulse of the Arts scene - keeps vital bits of information available to me while I focus on making my living by creating art. How valuable is that? Valuable like my right arm...” – Sue Clancy, Norman

    "OVAC has helped me as a visual artist through their workshops and their willingness to provide useful answers to many of the questions I have as an artist.” – Nathan Lee, OKC

    “As an artist in Oklahoma, I feel astoundingly lucky to have an organization like OVAC working for me. I can't thrive in isolation and OVAC is all about supporting and encouraging visual artists, and connecting us with the broader community.” – Elia Woods, OKC

    “OVAC’s programs lend a vitality to artists working in Oklahoma.” – Beth Downing, Tulsa

    “One of the best statewide art supporting organizations in the country as far as I can see – I’ve talked to people in several other states who wish they had an organization in their state which is doing what OVAC does.” – Jacqueline Zanoni de los Santos, Edmond

    “OVAC is one of those nimble non-profits that has successfully catapulted Oklahoma artists to a higher level.
