Yesterday I attended the 52nd Annual Nescatunga Arts Festival Arts Festival | Nescatunga Arts Festival | United States | Alva, Oklahoma in Alva, Oklahoma, home of Northwestern Oklahoma State University. The Nescatunga Arts Council had the festivities set up in the Percefull Field House on the NWOSU campus. There was a sugar show, as well as authors, artists, musicians, and crafters from all over the state and Kansas/Missouri. This year it was a three-day event, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There were activities both inside and outside and food trucks kept everyone fed.
Alva has a large art community in northwest Oklahoma. I’ve attended this before and consequently become involved in the Graceful Arts Studio Graceful Arts Center | Alva, OK | Gallery and Studio on the downtown Alva square where they not only teach art but promote artists of all kinds. I have books for sale on the shelves there.
Judges were set up to award prizes for the artisans’ booths. It was a fun day and there were many things to see and do. Musicians were on the stage continually and face painters kept the kids entertained.
You can still attend this afternoon and if you miss it, there is always next year. The Nescatunga Arts Festival has been around for 52 years and will be there again next year celebrating the arts in the community and surrounding areas.
