Description:

From Arts Trek Website:

An innovative, exciting cultural experience, Arts Trek combines an arts festival with a performance walk. Anchored at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, this free, family-friendly event is an arts adventure for everyone!

At the arts festival (10am-4pm), local artists and crafters display, demonstrate, and sell their artworks. Visitors engage in free hands-on art activities (including a collaborative community artwork) sponsored by local organizations and businesses. Performers entertain visitors as they shop. Food vendors offer a variety appetizing treats and Oklahoma wineries present tastings of area wines.

During the performance walk (10am-12pm), visitors encounter a variety of seemingly impromptu performances in non-traditional locations. The short performances occur in different locations on the St. Gregory's University campus, at the Museum, and at St. Gregory's Abbey. The visitors follow a map and a guide, walking to each performance location in one large group.

Arts Trek began in 2010 as a collaboration between the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art and several community organizations. Due to the success of the first festival, it became an annual event. Arts Trek is intended to promote the arts in Shawnee and Oklahoma; to provide an educational, entertaining activity for adults, students, and families; and to encourage community collaboration. An estimated 2,000-2,500 people attend Arts Trek. This event is not a fundraiser.
