Norman Arts Council's Cultural Connections is a program to further the bonds between Norman, Oklahoma and its sister cities across the globe by bringing visiting artists from abroad to share their heritage with us through their art while sending off Norman artists to further our city's history internationally.

In May 2017, Norman took three Norman artists — Daren Kendall, Ginna Dowling and Jason Cytacki — to exhibit work in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Three Clermont-Ferrand artists — Herve Brehier, Anne Marie Rognon and Cecile Gambini — completed the exchange by exhibiting work in Norman in Fall 2017 at MAINSITE Contemporary Art. 

The next Cultural Connections exchange will take Norman Arts Council to Colima, Mexico at a date TBD.
