Our Mission:
To promote the values of Arts Education in the state of Oklahoma.
“Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.”
John Lubbock
Oklahoma Alliance for Arts Education at a Glance
We, the Oklahoma Alliance for Arts Education, believe that the study of the arts is essential to the basic education of all students.
Learning in the arts encourages the development of cognitive and creative abilities that help students achieve academically and promotes the development of skills necessary for a lifetime of learning including: self-discipline, creative problem solving, collaboration, teamwork, and critical thinking.
An education in the arts promotes the development of individuals to be motivated, discerning, knowledgeable, and involved members of their communities.
