Discounts on Fall Arts Institute Tuition!

Do you have a digital camera and no idea how to use it?  Do you have a great idea for a children’s book?  Have you ever wanted to try your hand at painting, drawing, or printmaking?  Then head to Quartz Mountain this fall for an all-inclusive four-day retreat at the Oklahoma Fall Arts Institute (OFAI).  Workshops are offered for all ability levels, from true beginners to professional artists.  New this year, private school educators receive a 50% discount on tuition, and members of certain arts organizations receive 20% discounts.  Public school educators still receive full scholarships to OFAI.

OFAI participants spend their days receiving instruction from nationally renowned artists from across the U.S.  In addition to learning about their chosen art form, participants can attend presentations by faculty artists in a variety of artistic disciplines.  In the evenings, participants can take advantage of open studio time, attend an elective activity, or simply relax and enjoy the getaway.

OFAI is held at the Quartz Mountain Arts & Conference Center in southwest Oklahoma. An ideal location for arts immersion, the resort offers the amenities and comforts of a fine hotel inside a scenic state park.  OFAI is an all-inclusive experience, with all meals and lodging included with tuition (alcoholic beverages not included).  OFAI occurs October 11 – 14, October 25 – 28, and November 1 – 4, with enrollment beginning Monday, August 20. 

New this year, OFAI offers discounts to private school educators and arts supporters, while continuing to provide full scholarships to Oklahoma public school teachers.  Oklahoma private school educators can attend for a total cost of $315.50 ($345.50 for visual arts classes), including all meals and lodging in a shared room.  Members of the 16 arts organizations listed below can attend for a total cost of $490 ($520 for visual arts classes).  Private rooms are an additional $100.
