Additionally, Allied Arts expended more than $153,000 through its Central Oklahoma Arts Relief Fund and secured $300,000 to be granted through its Community Development Block Grant partnership with the City of Oklahoma City. These combined dollars represent the highest amount allocated in the organization’s 49-year history. “We are ecstatic to have exceeded our $3.4 million goal, particularly amidst the current economic climate,” said Deborah McAuliffe Senner, Allied Arts President and CEO. “Each and every donor proves vital to our mission.” Allied Arts board chairman Steve Mason added, “Corporate, foundation and individual donors from all walks of life joined together to support increased arts accessibility throughout Oklahoma – from arts education in low-income school districts to healing arts programming for veteran and elderly populations.” Campaign funds reach over 40 local nonprofit arts organizations annually, providing resources vital to their operating, programmatic and educational budgets. Allied Arts agencies also utilize campaign funds to provide innovative arts education to schoolchildren across the state. James Pickel, who has dedicated decades of service to the arts, served as honorary chair and Julie and Mark Beffort served as campaign co-chairs. The Befforts commented, “It has been an honor to serve as co-chairs of the 2020 Allied Arts Campaign. We have learned so much about the diverse cultural groups Allied Arts supports and its outreach to underserved communities. It’s been truly gratifying to advocate on their behalf.” Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Allied Arts withheld from hosting its annual Campaign Celebration event. To safely commemorate the campaign’s conclusion, Allied Arts invited Kris Kanaly, the featured artist of the 2020 campaign, to announce the total raised through a time- lapse video of Kanaly creating his signature style. You can view the video on the Allied Arts website and the organization’s YouTube page.
