Creative learning for students, teachers and schools

Oklahoma Contemporary’s ARTS LAB is a unified platform for arts education designed to support Oklahoma classrooms through dynamic, standards-aligned programs. Grounded in contemporary visual and performing arts, ARTS LAB connects students and educators to creativity, critical thinking and real-world application, both inside and beyond the classroom.

Whether you’re planning a field trip, seeking professional development or exploring careers in the arts, ARTS LAB offers flexible, relevant learning experiences for every stage of the educational journey.

Grades 3–12 STEAM-integrated experiences that bring contemporary exhibitions to life through guided tours and hands-on artmaking. These standards-aligned visits support learning across multiple subject areas, not just the arts, and are tailored to your students’ grade level and curriculum needs.

Designed for K–12 teachers, these studio-based professional development sessions focus on creative practice, reflection, and classroom application. Workshops align with Oklahoma Academic Standards and equip educators with hands-on skills and ideas they can bring back to their schools.

This one-day event introduces high school students to career possibilities in dance, theater, and visual art through live performance, artist panels, and hands-on workshops. Students choose a track and gain firsthand insight into creative industries, guided by working professionals in the field.
