Arts Trek Explained

Arts Trek was an annual cultural festival in Shawnee, Oklahoma, United States, in mid-spring. It was an event by the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art and was located on the former campus of St. Gregory's University. The one-day festival featured a performance walk, in which visitors move around campus in an organized trek to view fine arts performances such as choirs, spoken word art, theatre production scenes, interpretive dance, and live mural painting.[1]

In 2012, Arts Trek was awarded "Outstanding Event" by the Central Oklahoma Frontier Country Marketing Association.[2] The festival received the award again in 2014.

This Shawnee arts festival premiered in 2009. The final Arts Trek to date was in April of 2020.
