ARTS & CULTURE

​Ponca City’s art aficionados have been hugely influenced since the early 1900’s.  EW Marland’s collections, Lew Wentz, The Matzene collection which is now housed at the Ponca City Library have been pivotal to the art’s culture in our area.  In the 1970’s a group of artists created the Ponca City Art Association, now City Arts, which hosts the longest running Art Festival in Oklahoma. 

A new generation of artist and art lovers are continuing this pathway by creating the Grand Art’s district, run by Ponca City Main Street.  Making a large focus of many downtown initiative public art and art centric activities.  The first downtown Art Crawl was hosted in 2020 and will be continued on an annual basis.   

Ponca City Public Schools passed a bond issue in 2017 to fund a state-of-the-art concert hall for all singing and instrumental performances in the school system.  This also freed up space for the theatre program to ramp up their production schedule.

The historic Poncan Theatre houses not only a hand painted movie poster collection from the early 1900’s but also a production troupe for young actors, called Evan’s Children’s Academy. Together these art programs in Ponca City make up the culture that will continue to value arts and culture in our next generation.
