Firehouse Art Center

The Norman Firehouse Art Center, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation and was founded in 1970 as a community arts center, operating out of a vacated, city-owned building, which previously served as a fire station. The facility has since transformed to house highly professional working visual arts studios, which now accommodate both adult and youth art education programming, a permanent gift shop, and a dedicated exhibition gallery space. As an organization, the Firehouse has become the foremost provider of art education programming in Norman’s public elementary schools, serves as partner to many community events, and reaches an average of 14,000 individuals every year through the organization’s extensive breadth of programming.
