Our Mission
To lead, cultivate and support a thriving arts environment, which is essential to quality of life, education and economic vitality for all Oklahomans.

What We Do
For more than 40 years, the Oklahoma Arts Council has sustained Oklahoma’s vibrant non-profit arts industry. Since 1965, the Council has played a pivotal role in fostering the arts across the state.

Take a look back at the impact the Oklahoma Arts Council has had on hundreds of arts organizations, artists and the citizens of Oklahoma.

The Council awards matching grants to cultural organizations, schools and local governments in order to increase resources available to non-profit organizations producing community arts and arts education programs throughout Oklahoma.
The Council supports opportunities for all Oklahomans to create, perform or attend arts activities. These opportunities in turn produce thriving cities and interesting towns and make communities better places to live.
The Council raises public awareness about the value of the arts to the economic, educational, and cultural life of Oklahoma. The arts produce jobs and attract out-of-state tourists and directly improve Oklahoma’s economy.
The Council fosters education through the arts and supports efforts to implement the arts as part of the core curriculum for all students in every Oklahoma school.

In 1980, KICKER Audio invented the high-performance stereo enclosure market when company founder and President Steve Irby developed the Original KICKER®, the first full-range speaker box designed specifically for automotive use. From the day we put the power to that first KICKER, Livin’ Loud® has always been the KICKER way - staying one step ahead of the pack, driven to create components that consistently raise the world's expectations for stereo performance.

A hands-on approach from the highest level of management, matched with an energetic workforce and musicians with an innate ability to create truly musical components, has been the reason for the company’s remarkable success. As audio continues to evolve, KICKER will continue to be on the industry’s cutting edge, pushing the limits of audio design technology and performance in the quest for ultimate sound.
