The 2009 Oklahoma Fall Arts Institute

Like many organizations, the Oklahoma Arts Institute has been impacted by the economic crisis. Due to financial constraints, the number of OFAI weekends had to be reduced by one this year. We regret that we will not be able to accommodate the same number of participants this fall. We hope to return to four weekends of OFAI workshops next year. Thank you for your understanding.
