From the Ground Up

Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center’s Groundbreaking Ceremony

Raising a glass and breaking ground to celebrate the new Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center campus, coming in 2018. Revelers gathered on a warm, sunny evening in September to hear spirited remarks by James Pickel, OCAC Founder and board president Christian Keesee, Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett, and arts instructor and Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center alumna Annalisa Campbell. The Capitol Hill High School Band provided a soundtrack to this festive event.
