Description

Oklahoma Humanities supports the creation, development, or implementation of exhibits in which the exhibit itself serves as the humanities content. Projects may be intended for the general public or a specific audience, with the goal of enhancing Oklahoma’s cultural landscape. The program encompasses permanent installations, temporary displays, and traveling exhibits presented at multiple Oklahoma venues.

Oklahoma Humanities is an independent nonprofit and the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Its grant evaluation emphasizes well-developed humanities themes, relevant scholarship, and public engagement. Humanities disciplines include history, literature, ethics, philosophy, archaeology, cultural anthropology, art history and criticism, comparative religion, language, linguistics, jurisprudence, and historically or philosophically oriented social sciences. The rubric distinguishes humanities interpretation from creative or performing arts alone.
