OKLAHOMA SUMMER ARTS INSTITUTE AT QUARTZ MOUNTAIN
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
As Oklahoma’s Official School of the Arts, OSAI is the state's premier program for high school students wishing to further their skills in the literary, visual and performing arts. We are a nonprofit, partially funded by the State Department of Education. OSAI participants are accepted through a statewide audition process aimed at identifying Oklahoma's most talented young artists. During this intensive two-week residency program, students study with renowned artist-educators in one of several disciplines: acting, chorus, creative writing, dance, drawing & painting, film & video, orchestra or photography. All accepted students automatically receive a full scholarship, thereby ensuring that all students can attend, regardless of financial means.
OSAI 2022 will be held June 11-26 at Quartz Mountain State Park in southwest Oklahoma. Auditions begin in January.
HOW TO APPLY:
Students must first complete an online application. Next, each discipline has very specific audition and work sample requirements and students will need to prepare their application materials according to these guidelines listed on our website: acting, chorus, creative writing, dance, drawing & painting, film & video, orchestra, and photography.
Applicants in acting, chorus, dance, and orchestra must schedule and participate in an in-person audition.
Please view the Audition Schedule for all dates, Zoom interviews, and locations.
