An existing 9,839 square foot brick building located to the east of the main museum is set for an extensive renovation that will see it repurposed complete with a lighted outdoor sculpture gallery.
Inside, features will include a weaving studio, sculpture work areas and a large ceramics area with indoor and outdoor kilns.
Like the main building, the renovation was designed by Rand Elliott and will be constructed by Smith & Pickel Construction and calls for the building to be completely cleaned and painted with a new roof, windows and doors.
The studios will host workshops, lectures, and classes for a diverse audience and complement the museum as part of the $26 million campus just north of Automobile Alley in central Oklahoma City.
Work started in May and the center is set to open in 2019 and seeks to become a “creative commons” for the community to gather, create and experience art.
