FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS
HELD TUESDAY APRIL 23RD
THROUGH SUNDAY, APRIL 28TH
IN BICENTENNIAL PARK
The 2019 Festival of the Arts is right around the corner! Here are some fun things to look forward to this year. Featured Artist “Born in a Day” was created by Julie and Kevin Zuckerman to honor the great state of Oklahoma and legacy of the Native American population. The main image was inspired by the Great Eagle Feather and Olive Branch from the state flag. The background color represents the state wildflower, the Indian Blanket. The other vibrant colors honor the pride of the community such as the Oklahoma City Thunder, Oklahoma City Dodgers, Oklahoma City Energy, etc. Finally, the symbolism of the painting is to be bright, be bold, and make a difference in your community.
Artists Square, International Food Row, Performing ArtsAs always, the Festival of the Arts promises hundreds of talented artists, engaging performances and an abundance of delicious treats and food demonstrations. With new and returning favorites, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The full schedule can be found online: https//:www.artscouncilokc.com/festival-of-the-arts

Locations can be easily identified on the Festival map, in the Festival program and on large instructional kiosks in the center of Bicentennial Park. Please Leave Your Pets at Home Even for humans, Festival is sensory smorgasbord. From delicious food to head banging rock concerts... the sights, sounds and smells of Festival are often overwhelming and can cause unnecessary anxiety for our furry friends. Pet owners are encouraged to use caution when considering taking your pet to large, crowded events. There may be foods and drinks that are dangerous or toxic for animals, including certain sweets and alcoholic beverages. And, the noises from the large concert stages are often too loud for your pet’s sensitive ears. It’s for these significant reasons that no pets are allowed on Festival grounds, other than service animals in compliance with the American Disabilities Act.
