50th Annual Ponca City Arts Festival

EVENT INFORMATION
A juried fine art show, this is the premier annual Arts Festival of Northern Oklahoma since 1974. Over $25,000 in art was sold by artists at the 2023 festival, and $1,500 in prize money will be offered to artists for 2024. This festival includes art demonstrations, a children's art area, live entertainment, and food/drink vendors. On Friday night, "Festival Dollar" purchasers and donors can sip and mingle with artists while getting the first chance to shop the festival, during Patrons on the Patio. 

​Festival Dollars
Festival Dollars can be purchased in increments of $25 and are to be spent directly with artists participating in the festival. Individuals who purchase $150 or more of Festival Dollars are invited to Patrons on the Patio (held Friday evening), which will be catered by Enrique's. There will be both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drink options available for patrons. This will be a great opportunity to purchase pieces of art from each artist before the festival is open to the public.
