Spark! Benefitting Bright Futures Art Auction

The 2026 SPARK! Benefitting Bright Futures Gala celebrates the legacy of artists who have and continue to make the Firehouse Art Center a cornerstone of Oklahoma’s arts community. The Art Auction is an integral feature of SPARK, raising funds to support new generations of artists. With over fifty unique artworks for bidders to choose from as well as live artist demonstrations, enjoy a night of art, community, and inspiration as we ignite new possibilities for future generations of artists.

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 thousands of individuals every year through our extensive breadth of programming.
