Studio Tours

Elyse BOGART

The Norman Firehouse Art Center is excited to share the second installment of our Oklahoma Studio Tours series! These videos invite viewers inside the creative spaces of local artists to see where inspiration takes shape and how each artist brings their ideas to life.

In this episode, longtime Firehouse instructor Elyse Bogart (Instagram: @elysebogartdesigns) shares her story and gives us a tour of the newly renovated Jewelry Studio at Norman Firehouse. Having been part of Firehouse since 1982, Elyse reflects on the studio’s evolution and what this expanded space means for the next generation of artists.

This episode was filmed and edited by Katie Couch, whose work beautifully highlights this exciting new chapter for the Firehouse community.

Carlos Barboza

The Norman Firehouse Art Center is excited to announce Oklahoma Studio Tours! These interviews will give viewers a look not only into the creative space of an artist but also where they derive their inspiration and their processes for creating work.

We begin this series with artist Carlos Barboza (Instagram :@barboza_art) at his collaborative studio space, Canopy Art Center (Instagram: @canopyokc), in Oklahoma City's Plaza District.

This inaugural episode was shot and edited by our intern Jaxon Holuby (Instagram: @jaxonholuby). We're super grateful to have him help kick off this informative and fun series! This fall, Jaxon will be pursuing a BFA in film and television from Savannah College of Art and Design.
