Chesapeake Energy Corporation Receives National Award for Arts Support

Greater Oklahoma City Chamber: The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and Allied Arts congratulate Chesapeake Energy Corporation today on being named one of the ten best companies in the nation for private-sector support of the arts. They were selected by the Business Committee of the Arts (BCA), an organization founded in 1967 by David Rockefeller to bring business and the arts together. As a division of Americans for the Arts, the BCA recognizes exceptional commitment to the arts through grants, partnerships, volunteer programs, gifts, sponsorships and board membership. Allied Arts, Oklahoma’s only United Arts Fund, nominated Chesapeake for the prestigious award, citing the company’s support of a variety of art genres both in Oklahoma City and in Chesapeake’s operating areas across the country.
