We are so excited to start fall classes tomorrow! With our expansion, it is very important that you know where your child’s class is meeting. We now have three spaces in the building.

Please check the following schedule to find your child’s class, time, and meeting location.https://artworksacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/ArtWorks-Academy-2026-2027-Class-Locations.pdf

South Studio

Our new space on the south side of the building. There is no drive-through drop-off, so you will need to park and let your child out or walk them in if they need to cross the parking lot.

Most classes for 2nd grade and under will meet here, along with all group and private voice lessons.

The Loft

Our black box performance venue for theatre and musical theatre classes for 3rd grade and up. The entrance is on the east side of the building, to the left of Hey Pickle Pickle.

For drop-off, drive past the entrance and turn around in the north parking lot so you can pull up next to the door. Please do not line up for pickup until class has ended. If you park, please walk your child to and from the door. Do not have your child cross the busy parking lot alone after class.

North Studio

Located on the north side of the building, near the largest part of our parking lot. You can circle around for drop-off. Most dance classes for 3rd grade and up meet here, along with some younger dance classes and homeschool musical theatre classes.

For Parents

The South Studio and North Studio both have lobbies where parents are welcome to wait. You may also drop your child off and run errands.

The Loft does not have a lobby or seating for parents, but there are glass doors if you would like to check in on what is happening.

Students with Back-to-Back Classes

We will soon have a door connecting The Loft and South Studio, but until then, we will walk students between those spaces. If your child needs to walk between the North Studio and the South Studio or The Loft, please let a teacher know unless they are old enough to do so independently.

We know it will take time for everyone to adjust to our larger facility, and we appreciate your patience! We just got access to the new space this week, so we are still working to make it our own. We are excited about all the possibilities and can’t wait to welcome everyone this week!

We have received many questions today regarding HeyDay’s announcement of the closure of their Norman location. We learned of this today, too, and have been in conversation with building ownership.

HeyDay will continue operating Hey Pickle Pickle and has assured us that our lease is unaffected by today’s announcement. We are excited to begin our 20th season on August 30th! See you then!

MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP WITH ELVIE ELLIS!🎭🎶

Elvie is from Oklahoma and is currently a part of the current Broadway tour of HAMILTON. He has also toured with JESUS CHRIST SUPER STAR and WAITRESS.

This workshop is for 13-18 year old students and is geared towards our advanced musical theatre students.

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

WHEN: August 15, 2026 at 10:00am-12:30 pm

TUITION: $65

Space is limited.

Students will learn a portion of choreography meant for movers, but nuanced enough in performance that advanced dancers will feel challenged and enjoy the work.

After an hour he will switch gears and work with 4-6 students in performance of an audition piece. Students who are not asked to sing will participate in discussions of technique, and performance critiques. They will remain heavily involved and learn by watching him work with other students for a few minutes each.

He will end with a Q&A session.

We have been asked to select the singers before the class. If you would like that opportunity, you must have a 32 bar audition cut prepared and have an accompaniment track. Enroll in the workshop and let me know you want to be considered for the vocalists in the group. We will let you know who was selected before the workshop. Your audition cut must be memorized and performance ready if you are selected! You must be enrolled by August 8 to be considered for this so that everyone has time to be prepared.
