Alumni

Since 1977, OAI has served more than 5,500 of Oklahoma’s most talented high school students through the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute at Quartz Mountain. As students form friendships, meet artistic mentors, and hone their skills, they make memories that last a lifetime. Many OSAI alumni enjoy successful artistic careers, while others are arts supporters in their communities. Whether our alumni pursue the arts or not, they credit their experiences at OSAI with giving them the discipline and self-confidence they need to become successful, well-rounded citizens.
