html) 2025 Oklahoma Arts Conference An update on the 2025 Oklahoma Arts Conference In light of uncertainty in the state and federal arts funding landscape, the Oklahoma Arts Council has made the difficult decision to suspend the 2025 Oklahoma Arts Conference, which was scheduled to take place in Enid this fall. We recognize the immeasurable and irreplaceable value of the conference.
No other professional development event brings together the hundreds of nonprofit administrators, artists, business and community leaders, educators, and others who power our state’s creative sector. However, because planning for the conference begins months ahead of the event, our responsibility as stewards of public funds requires that we exercise diligence in our commitments for the coming fiscal year.
With the enormous success of the conference since its launch in 2007, our agency remains fully committed to offering it again at the right time. There are countless stories of new ideas and partnerships forged during the three-day convening that are currently benefiting communities and schools across our state. We look forward to once again making this possible in Oklahoma and in Enid, as our next host community.
The Oklahoma Arts Council organizes the biennial statewide Oklahoma Arts Conference to bring together the state's arts and creative industry for professional development and networking opportunities. The conference takes place every two years, serving hundreds of arts administrators, artists, community developers, educators, students, volunteers, and others involved in the arts and cultural sector in Oklahoma.
Conference sessions feature nationally recognized industry experts and Oklahoma-based presenters. Sessions focus on nonprofit management, career development for artists, community and economic development through the arts, arts education, and more. Attendees participate in a variety of presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and performances, while evening events allow participants to experience the arts in the host community.
Every two years, the Oklahoma Arts Conference brings together hundreds of Oklahomans from the arts in one location where participants get equipped for success, gain and share ideas, and celebrate Oklahoma's vibrant and growing creative industry. **Receive updates about the Oklahoma Arts Conference**.

Jerome Early-Career Project Grants is a grant from Forecast Public Art, funded by the Jerome Foundation, that funds the creation of new public art projects by early-career artists based in Minnesota. Two grants of $8,000 each are awarded annually to support temporary or permanent public artworks anywhere in Minnesota.

Eligible applicants are Minnesota-based individual artists with 2–10 years of generative experience. The application deadline was October 15, 2025.

Eligible applicants include artists, nonprofits, schools, and organizations pursuing arts, humanities, and science projects. Applications are submitted directly to local councils and are typically due by October 16. Grants from most LCCs are reimbursement-based. Massachusetts Cultural Council funds the LCCs centrally, which then regrant to community projects.

Read articleThe OpenAI Foundation opened applications June 15 for $50M in unrestricted, one-time grants to U.S. 501(c)(3) public charities — but a tight $500K–$10M operating-budget band, a 10-percent-of-budget award ceiling, and an explicit ban on fiscal-sponsorship arrangements have made eligibility a sharper filter than the AI-curiosity test most applicants are focused on. Here is the strategic landscape, the three program lanes, and what the October notification timeline means for nonprofits considering a Q4 launch.
