Inseparable from its past, present, and future, a community's story is unlike any other community's story, offering a place from which to build a future and meet the dreams of its people. In the coming weeks and months, Cornerstone Conversations led by the Oklahoma Arts Council will give Oklahomans the chance to consider their community's story and envision how the arts can be an important part of that story in the years to come.

Beginning in November, staff of the Oklahoma Arts Council will travel across the state bringing together community stakeholders for a series of afternoon conversations. All interested community members in the areas and beyond are invited to join us for one of these engaging opportunities.

Co-facilitated by members of each community, Cornerstone Conversations are designed to empower Oklahomans to create shared visions through small group discussion, individual exercises, and written feedback. Each session will include a 30-minute networking break with light refreshments.

As the Oklahoma Arts Council begins work on a new five-year strategic plan to serve the people of our state, Cornerstone Conversations will allow us to know how we can contribute to the visions Oklahomans have for leveraging the arts as they build their futures.

Upcoming Conversations
