The OSU Museum of Art and Prairie Arts Center are partnering to construct ready-to-go art kits that will be distributed to community members through various local non-profit centers. This outreach program is generously funded by the OSU Museum Art Advocates. Beginning in August of 2020, Community Art Kits will be given out at Our Daily Bread Food and Resource Center every 3rd Saturday of the month. Each bag will include written instructions and all the materials needed for one person to do the activity. It is our hope these kits will make it easier, safer, and more enjoyable for caregivers to make art and spend quality time with their kids.

Activities
School Programming with OSU Museum of Art
Prairie Arts Center is proud to be in partnership with the OSU Museum of Art to provide high quality, inquiry based programming for our community schools. The museum's PreK-12 tour program encourages students of all abilities to engage with art and each other by looking deeply and thinking creatively and critically. This level of engagement is continued at Prairie Arts Center for a hands-on making project directly related to the exhibition. Supplies are included and instruction and facilitation is provided by the Prairie Arts Center and museum staff.
Mya's Promise Event Spring 2021
Mya's Promise second Saturdays at Prairie Arts Center is being conducted virtually right now in order to keep everyone as safe as possible. As always, we invite children living with special needs and their families to participate.
Feb 24th Art Adventure
Art Adventures, hosted by the Prairie Art Center staff, are an opportunity to explore the rich and diverse art traditions of Oklahoma in community with fellow art lovers. Art Adventures will take shape around the enthusiasm of its participants. We may travel to see an exhibition of interest, have a picnic lunch afterwards to discuss, and then find a local trail to stroll. We may take a day to wander around and appreciate the public art works of a town of interest, stopping to shop and eat along the way. Prairie Arts Center will not charge a fee for these outings, but participants will be required to sign up in advance and cover their own travel expenses. Come join us for an Art Adventure!
