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.

2010 Artist Series Registration is Closed

We are delighted to announce the Artist Series for the 2010 Texoma Regional Conference to be held in Abilene, Texas on the campus of Hardin Simmons University.
