With warmer weather coming to Norman, there is no better time to enjoy the city.  On April 9, the Norman Arts Council will bring you a special 2^nd Friday Circuit of Art, where the community gathers to kick off the festival and summer arts season. 

This month’s art walk includes the Norman Arts Council’s Community Kick-StART.  This special event will take place next to the Firehouse Art Center, located at 444 South Flood Avenue in Lions Park, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Community Kick-StART will be an evening full of free fun and entertainment for the whole community. Free chips and salsa will be provided by Freebirds to snack on while guests enjoy a live performance featuring Norman’s own music group, Off Boyd Jazz. 

The event will feature an interactive community collage. Paints and brushes will be provided for the event, though community members are encouraged to bring any kind of art supplies (including flat artworks and printed photographs) to attach or use on a large canvas designed to represent the city of Norman.

Guests are encouraged to then hop on the trolley and experience the NAC’s signature event, 2^nd Friday Circuit of Art. Even the trolley will be taking part with SWAN performers rocking out on the CART—playing live music all night long!  This art walk offers a snapshot of the Norman arts scene, which features the best in local talent, venues and cuisine. 

Of course, Community Kick-Start is just one of the events taking place during April’s event.  Other free activities and openings are scheduled by members of the Norman Gallery Association and its supporting organizations throughout the night.
