Description
Oklahoma Humanities supports public cultural experiences that explore local history or cultural heritage through the humanities. Supported formats include historic walking tours, cultural trips, festivals, guided tours, and Chautauquas. The program aims to increase access to and engagement with the humanities while enhancing Oklahoma’s cultural landscape.
The funding centers on public interpretation and exploration of history and heritage, rather than cultural activities alone. Its evaluation framework considers how clearly humanities themes are developed, how humanities scholars contribute, and how the program’s format, schedule, and fees support public access. Oklahoma Humanities is an independent nonprofit and the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
