Looking for a way to support local arts organizations and save money at the same time? Look no further than Allied Arts’ OKCityCard!
“February had been proclaimed ‘Allied Arts’ month by the mayor, so this month is when we do our big push for awareness and contributions,” explains Caitlin Tarasi, OKCityCard Coordinator and Development Assistant at Allied Arts.
In 2013, Allied Arts raised a record-breaking $3.36 million to support local arts organizations. The OKCityCard continues to be a powerful fundraising tool. “By supporting Allied Arts and using your OKCityCard, you are supporting local businesses and the arts organizations that thrive in our city. It’s the gift that keeps on giving,” Tasari says.
OKCityCards are available with a contribution of $50 or more to Allied Arts. The card is valid for a full year from the time of your donation and can be used for savings at more than 400 locations across the Oklahoma City metro. Discounts are available in communities such as Oklahoma City, Edmond, Moore, Norman, Yukon and Shawnee, and include percentage-off discounts and “two-for-one” offers at popular restaurants, attractions, events and more.
“We have added 32 new partners this year,” Tarasi adds. “Two of the new ones are especially exciting to families. Both Frontier City and White Water Bay are offering ‘buy one general admission and get one free’ discounts with the OKCityCard.”
These venues join other popular family venues such as:
- Science Museum Oklahoma—buy one general admission, get one free.
- Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History—buy one admission, get one free.
- Arctic Edge Ice Arena—buy one admission, get one free
- State Fair of Oklahoma— two-for-one outside gate admission

- OKC Zoo—50% off a single adult admission
- Sonic—Buy one, get one free cheeseburgers
