What's New in the Arts?

Oil City's Arts Revitalization is tapping into the creativity of long-time residents and attracting the good energy
and fresh vision of relocating artists from all over the country.  Visual artists, filmmakers, musicians, and fine artisans    
are coming together here in small-town America, and the momentum is building -- 
Look at what's going on and get involved!

ARTS Oil City is part of The HUB, Arts on 8, a regional initiative to promote artists and the arts
