ABOUT ARTS TREK

 

An innovative, exciting cultural experience, this free, family-friendly event is an arts adventure for everyone!

​

2019 marks the 10th anniversary for Arts Trek and the 100th anniversary for the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art!  To celebrate we're trying something new! We're hosting a two-week art exhibit in conjunction with the festival and we're bringing many of our hands-on art activities indoors!

Stay tuned for more information as the event grows nearer!

Arts Trek began 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.  Annually, an estimated 3,000-4,000 people attended Arts Trek.  This event is not a fundraiser for the museum.
