Artist Series

Each year at our annual conference, a call is put out to Texoma members for proposals to present lectures, recitals, programs, and/or performances. Under Richard Berry's tenure as governor, we began to call this part of the program the Texoma Artist Series. The call for proposals traditionally goes out in late spring.  A committee, chosen by the regional governor, reviews submissions and chooses the presentations.

The application process for the 2011 Artist Series will be announced via e-mail during the Spring of 2011.

We enjoyed many wonderful performances and presentations as a part of the 2010 Artist Series.
