47th Annual Ponca City Arts Festival This Friday and Saturday at LA Cann Gardens

Oklahoma’s longest-running arts festival, Ponca City Arts Festival, is Friday, September 23 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm and Saturday, September 24 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at the LA Cann Memorial Gardens, 1500 East Grand.

For 47 years, artists from around the region have gathered at the Ponca City Arts Festival to share their art with northern Oklahoma.

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 2021 festival, and $1,500 in prize money will be offered to artists for 2022.

This festival includes art demonstrations, a children’s art area, live entertainment, and food and drink vendors.

New this year is a Friday night VIP event where “Festival Dollar” purchasers and donors can sip and mingle with artists while getting the first chance to shop the festival.

The Ponca City Arts Festival is a non-commission show. All sales are made directly to the artists.
