Museum receives grant

The Philbrook Museum, 2727 S Rockford Road, received $142,232 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to fund Philbrook's Second Saturdays program, a monthly event that offers free admission and educational activities for families. Earlier this year, ONEOK, Inc. pledged $200,000, which allowed the museum to accept the IMLS donation. The Philbrook was required to match funds to receive the IMLS grant. Second Saturday programs are scheduled Sept. 8 and Oct. 13.
