Norman Arts Council

The NAC, with support from the Oklahoma Arts Council and the City of Norman, administers and funds a combination of arts in education programs with Norman Public Schools.

Every year, local and touring artists teach arts education to thousands of Norman children through these interactive programs. In addition, Norman teachers receive training in arts education - ensuring that the arts thrive in the public school system.

Dance a l’Art originally began as a series of fundraising dinners entitled “Dinners a l’Art,” in which private citizens would host and attend the dinner to help raise money for the NAC and its programs. Last year, collaboration between NAC Board Members Linda Whitaker and Maggie Mitchell created Dance a l’Art and opened the event to the public.

A committee of the Norman Arts Council that includes Norman Public Schools, Norman Public Library and other humanities-related volunteers. The committee brings authors to Norman to provide workshops and training for the writers and Norman Public Schools. Most of which are free and open to the public.
