The mission of Artsplace Ponca City (APC) is to educate and involve audiences in the visual arts.  APC serves as a catalyst and forum for the advancement, development and understanding of contemporary art.  In partnership with artist and community, APC takes a leadership role in shaping culture by: encouraging a dynamic relationship between art and society, by showing significant new artworks by regional artists and providing a public forum for discussing new trends and issues in contemporary visual arts.

APC fosters creative excellence through temporary exhibitions and projects of significant regional scope.  Through innovative outreach and education programs, APC serves as a vital community resource by bringing artists, their work, and the community together in meaningful experiences of sharing and learning.
