Eufaula Area Art’s mission is to weave the arts into this community. Arts are a forum for safe expression, communication, exploration, imagination and cultural and historical understanding. Join us!

Thanks to all of the people who participated in the Second Annual Art Walk, and the Eufaula Community Theater’s production of “Broadway Our Way.” Both events were a great success from participation from people like you. There will be a Christmas Exhibit at the Main Street Studio. We hope to see you all there. Do not forget about the Monthly Eufaula Area Arts meetings, held at the library in Eufaula, there should be reminders sent out regarding the times of these meetings.

Art Walk was a wonderful success mainly due to the beautiful weather and the artists brought to town. Artist sold more art this year than ever before.
A wrap up session was last Tuesday. Conclusions for next year is a new theme “Historical Eufaula”. Art Walk will be the first weekend in October for the next 2 years. We will hire more musicians and visual artists during art walk. If you want to be hired drop by Main Street Studio We may have more events around Bank of Eufaula in their parking lot, although we like having an art presence on Main Street. Everyone liked the big tent.

The newly formed Eufaula Community Theater had a musical review this year featuring songs from various Broadway shows, including Into the Woods, RENT, Annie, Oklahoma!, and many more at Eufaula High School Auditorium.

When you see Cryse Burns, please tell her she has done a great job. This was the maiden performance of the Eufaula Community Theater group.

Our Annual Meeting will be November 20 on Friday at Gators. All members are encouraged to dine in and attend the meeting. Businesses who are partners and members are encouraged to have tables and join in the gala event. Joy Gehinger will be our entertainment.
