We appreciate the talent and hard work of all participating artists, our dedicated staff, community partners and everyone who attended.

It was great to see the community come together in celebration of First American culture and the arts at the 13th annual Artesian Arts Festival in Sulphur.

As we commemorate the lives lost in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, we give our deepest thanks for the strength and resilience of our community and the many responders who served so selflessly.

Happy Easter to you and your loved ones!
