ATTENTION! Close Alert Box Oklahoma City Community College, including the Family and Community Education Center and the Capitol Hill Center, will open on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 7:00 a.m. All classes and activities will resume as normal.

Employees who cannot reasonably return to work tomorrow should contact their supervisors, if possible.  OCCC has generous leave policies that may be used to take additional days off work, if necessary.

Due to far reaching effects of the recent tornado that damaged Newcastle, Moore and the south Oklahoma City metro, Oklahoma City Community College has extended the deadline by which faculty must turn in final grades. OCCC faculty were asked to have grades turned in by noon today, but some may have been unable to meet this deadline. This could result in delay to grades being posted. Students that have questions about their grades should contact the Office of the Registrar at 405-682-7512.

Students who have missed an intersession class are urged to contact their professors about any absences due to the damage resulting from the recent tornado and the closing of the campus.

Additionally, the college will be flexible with students who are enrolled for the summer intersession that started on May 20, 2013. Students who are now unable to attend intersession should contact the Office of the Registrar at 405-682-7512.

ABOUT AFO

Begun in 1978, AFO is a favorite Labor Day event in Oklahoma and one of the top arts and crafts shows in the Southwest.  Over 25,000 patrons attend AFO every Labor Day Weekend to view and purchase original artwork by regional artists, experience community performing arts groups, and sample a diverse selection of foods from up to 14 different food concessionaires.

Arts Festival Oklahoma is a juried show that showcases original work for sale to fit every budget, from student to collector. Most artists staff their own booths, and welcome the opportunity to talk with you about their work.

With free admission, a site located in South Oklahoma City, and the active involvement of numerous community organizations, AFO is truly a community event that provides great access to the arts while it highlights its community's assets. Featuring some of the best visual artists in the Southwest and performances by both local and international performing artists, AFO provides a rich and meaningful arts experience for its patrons.

This year will mark the 35th anniversary of Arts Festival Oklahoma (AFO), produced by Oklahoma City Community College.
