## About

Anchoring the cultural crossroads of Automobile Alley and Midtown OKC, Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center is an architectural showpiece dedicated to contemporary art, performance, and family education. Admission is always free, welcoming families into warm, sunlit indoor galleries that showcase innovative rotating contemporary art exhibitions. During second Saturday Family Saturday workshops, children and caregivers work alongside resident artists creating hands-on sculpture, painting, and mixed-media projects inspired by current exhibitions. Visitors can browse interactive educational art books in the Learning Gallery, relax with cocoa in the ground-floor cafe, and bundle up for a brief outdoor stroll through Campbell Art Park to explore monumental outdoor kinetic sculptures that spin with the winter breeze.

• Stroller Accessibility: Exceptional modern accessibility with step-free entrances, spacious passenger elevators, wide gallery hallways, and smooth outdoor park pathways.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Private nursing and wellness room equipped with comfortable armchairs and electrical outlets; spacious family restrooms with changing stations on every floor.
• Age Suitability: Welcoming to all ages; hands-on creative stations in the Learning Gallery engage toddlers through middle schoolers.
• Sensory Tips: Bright, tranquil natural lighting throughout the galleries; spacious quiet corners offer peaceful spaces for sensory-sensitive visitors.
