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!
