The Firehouse Art Center has been investing in the community for decades, and they offer a myriad…read moreof creative opportunities for individuals of any skill level to take some time exploring the arts. They are beginner-friendly, where people come for one class and then come back over and over again. They make friends in class and then take other courses together - it's a great place to network with artistic people. Through innovative programming, the Firehouse Art Center continuously reevaluates its course offerings to meet the community's interests. Glass and jewelry classes always fill quickly. However, the subject matter varies significantly from there. A painting class may focus on landscapes, people, multimedia, animals, or abstract designs. Other offerings include photography, pottery, drawing, crocheting, sculpting, calligraphy, and paper arts. Classes are offered in four- and eight-week courses, with additional, shorter workshops usually on weekends. Classes may be skill-level restricted, but most offer individuals of any interest or skill level the opportunity to start and try their hand at a new art. "It's not about perfection; it's about the process," said Dr. Nikki Krumwiede, Programs Coordinator for the Firehouse Art Center. "Art allows individuals to learn a new skill, but they also get to express themselves in ways they might never have previously." Through courses, art exhibitions, and art events, community art centers allow individuals to make new friends, explore new skills at their own pace, and positively engage in their community. "Investing in yourself expands what you believe is possible," said Tricia Edwards, artist and international inner flow guide. "Whether learning a skill that fuels your imagination or flexing it through creative expression, you break free from rigid thinking and open doors to new opportunities. By strengthening your capacity for curiosity, imagination, and expression, you 'unlimit your beliefs,' your choices, and the life you never knew was possible." The Firehouse Art Center offers art courses and events for children and parents/children. They haven't forgotten Fido and Fluffy, either, hosting events that feature and benefit pets. "We are a community resource," said Dr. Krumwiede. "We welcome anyone to come by; pop your head in and see what is happening and how you can get involved. We love meeting new people and showing them around the Firehouse." For anyone ready to start giving back, the Firehouse Art Center offers several community investment opportunities. Individuals can volunteer for differently abled individuals in classes, at art events, or the Healing Studio. If a person is artistically inclined, they might want to teach a workshop; if the response to their workshop is positive, they might be asked to teach a course. Other opportunities to get involved in community arts include Art Forces, a free program for veterans and active service members; Zoo Sketch, where individuals learn about drawing through sketching animals at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Gardens; Equality Club, dedicated to promoting equality through the creative expression of visual arts; and Art After School, which offers a delightful array of creative courses for children of all ages. A list of events and courses is available at the Firehouse Art Center, 444 South Flood Avenue in Norman, or at normanfirehouse.com.

Sorry this place is very unorganized. They charge alot of money including materials and then have…read morefew of these when you take the class. They didn't fire multiple pieces during our class and had very little glaze. We went back after the class and glazed the pieces, and they threw them all away supposedly. They even threw away clay that had been purchased by students. Sorry this is not acceptable to charge people for supplies and not follow the process all the way to the end.

We booked the tasting room for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding. My husband worked with them…read moreand they were completely responsive and helpful! My dad gets to the venue the day of and we realized that my husband had given them the wrong date for the dinner. The venue scrambled and worked so hard to make a dinner for thirty people with no notice and it was amazing! We are so grateful for all of their hard work and willingness to cover ourselves in the mishap.

I've been to special events here several times. They host some of the best wine dinners in Oklahoma…read moreCity, and more casual events as well. The space can be rented out for your own private party, with catering from any of the Western Concepts (Lobby Bar, Musashi's, Sushi Neko, Coach House, etc). They have a large private room as well as a beautiful outdoor patio. They also have a beautiful working kitchen, which is home to cooking classes by local chefs, and has also been used for local cooking shows. I think a few local chefs have also filmed pilot TV shows for cooking shows here, since it's set up for that as well. The folks who work for Western Concepts are among the best in the OKC food scene. They are always trying inventive menus and will work with you to create the event of your dreams, within your budget. They recently catered an event that I hosted at Savory Spice Shop, just around the corner, and I loved the creativity that went into making the menu. Bonus of having events here: your guests have access to a huge parking lot, nice restrooms and a beautiful new entry hall. With Lobby Bar nearby, they can enjoy a drink in the bar before of after.
