Every corner in Oklahoma City provides an opportunity for enrichment.
“Oklahoma City’s rugged Western heritage and Native American past, paired with the modern metropolis it is today, gives visitors everything they’d want in experiencing arts and culture,” says Sandy Price, vice president of tourism with Visit Oklahoma City. “This includes everything from festivals and live music to art and culture at one of our premier museums around town to an entire district dedicated to the arts.
See the ballet
The Oklahoma City Ballet is home to 45 dancers from all over the world. Each season the company presents a combination of contemporary and classical ballets through its four mainstage productions. Some of the upcoming performances include “The Nutcracker” in December and “Petite Mort: A Triple Bill” in April 2018.
Hear the music
Visit the Civic Center Music Hall downtown to see the Oklahoma City Philharmonic. The company puts on performances September through May in a series of eight concerts of classics and six pairs of pops concerts. Upcoming performances include “The Songs of Elton John” in February 2018 and “Pink Martini” in March 2018.
Experience the art
Oklahoma City is teeming with art galleries and museums, including The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum; the Paseo Arts District; the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, which is located downtown and houses rotating and permanent exhibits, including a collection of Dale Chihuly glass pieces (shown above); and Exhibit C, a new downtown gallery featuring works by Chickasaw artists.
