Planning Department MenuArtist Registry
Oklahoma City’s Artist Registry is a space where artists can share their work with the public and in return, it gives the public an opportunity to discover some exceptionally talented artists! The Registry also serves as a resource for registered artists to learn about upcoming public art projects funded through the City’s 1% for Arts ordinance and other sources. The City of Oklahoma City makes no particular recommendation of any artist through the Registry, but provides this information as a public resource.
Our registration page is under reconstruction/redesign. We'll announce when the registration is open again!
