THE SAMO DUCKY PROJECT
The Samo Ducky Project began in 2010 as a Firehouse Art Center initiative to
develop an icon that would appeal to all ages and become a symbol of local arts
by promoting and increasing the visibility of public art in the Norman community.
In 2011, the Public Arts Board (PAB) began searching for ideas to enhance our
Norman Parks. The PAB liked the concept of the Cow Parade in Chicago and
other similar projects, but wanted to create something unique, produced locally
and that incorporated its mission, to create exciting, appealing, and harmonious
public spaces through the integration of art into public places.
The PAB accepted a proposal to use the Firehouse Art Center’s original duck,
“Samo Ducky,” designed by Douglas Shaw Elder. The PAB hired 3-D Extreme
in Norman to cast fiberglass reproductions of the original duck and published
a “Request for Proposals” to Norman artists to submit their visions of the duck
sculptures to paint and enhance.
2 8 | S U M M E R 2 0 19THE SAMO DUCKY PROJECT
The goal of the duck project is to create a sculpture that is inviting, stimulating and
that fosters social interaction while enhancing our community parks. In addition
to Samo Ducky, residing next to the Firehouse in Lions Park, there are 23 ducky
installations currently located in Norman:
Lions Park - Samo Ducky by artist Douglas Shaw Elder
Andrews Park - Dig Duck by artist Chris McDaniel
Colonial Estates Park - Cloudy by artist Christian Pitt

ART EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS
The Firehouse Art Center’s Art Education in Schools programming primarily
focuses on providing visual arts education and experiences to K-5 students in the
Norman Public School (NPS) system. A majority of Norman’s public elementary
schools are without regular art educators and are considered Title I, meaning
40% or more of the students are eligible for the free or reduced lunch program.
As a community institution dedicated to providing the highest quality visual
arts education and experiences, the Firehouse Art Center supplements these
challenges through the provision of both regular and project-based arts education
programs in Norman’s public elementary schools. All in-school art education
projects and programs introduce visual art education that connects the students’
current curriculum with the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Fine Arts: Visual
Arts guidelines. Projects are designed to allow children to see their subject from a
different viewpoint, to expand the ways in which they absorb information, and to
express their understanding of their education in a vibrant way.
Kids Art is Smart at Lincoln Elementary
Since 2009, the Firehouse has partnered with the Norman Arts Council and
Norman Public School System to produce the Kids Art is Smart program.
Currently, the program is being administered at Lincoln Elementary School, where
Firehouse instructor Jane Lawson provides comprehensive visual arts education to
all 302 PreK-5 students. Instruction is provided on a consistent basis throughout
the school year, supplementing the lack of dedicated visual arts instruction in
Norman’s public elementary schools, while meeting the educational needs of
Norman’s schoolchildren. Lawson works closely with PreK-5 teachers at Lincoln to
develop comprehensive visual arts education lessons that challenges children to
see their curriculum from a different viewpoint and to express their understanding
of the classroom material in a visual way.
The FAC’s Art Education in Schools programs are made possible through grants
from the Oklahoma Arts Council, Norman Arts Council, and Allied Arts, and
through generous individual donations. To support, volunteer for, or donate to
Art Education in Schools programs, please contact the Firehouse by email at

S U M M E R 2 0 19 | 3 1ARTS ENGAGEMENT IN
AWARDS & RECOGNITION
AMERICAN COMMUNITIES
The Firehouse Art Center (FAC) is proud to announce that it was selected as a
recipient of funding by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for the past
year. The FAC was awarded the Arts Engagement in American Communities
grant to provide visual arts programming to underserved and underrepresented
groups in the Norman community. Through the FAC’s community outreach,
Healing Studio, and new veterans program, the organization is able to serve
community members that often lack the opportunity to engage with the visual
arts. The Firehouse has endeavored to reach these individuals by providing arts
programming, offered at no cost to participants, that is accessible to people of all
socioeconomic backgrounds and ability levels.
Receiving NEA funding is an honor for the Firehouse, as it represents not
only monetary support but national recognition of the quality of programming
developed by the FAC. All of the FAC’s programs are built around educational
visual arts experiences that focus on self-expression, creativity, art history, and
technical skills, with a foundational curriculum rooted in the FAC’s Creating with
the Masters and the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Fine Arts: Visual Arts
guidelines. The technical skills required of the projects and activities for these
programs are adaptable and can accommodate individuals of all abilities.
OKLAHOMA NONPROFIT
EXCELLENCE (ONE) AWARDS
The Firehouse Art Center was humbled and proud to have been selected as a
finalist in the Arts & Humanities category for the prestigious Oklahoma Nonprofit
Excellence (ONE) Awards in April 2018. Executive Director Douglas Shaw Elder
credits the committed efforts of the Board of Trustees and staff over the past ten
years for the achievements leading to this recognition. “I have never worked with
a more dedicated and community-minded Board and staff, and I am proud of the
excellent service that the Firehouse Art Center provides to Norman. The diligent
efforts and professionalism of these individuals results in the provision of high
quality arts education to an average of 14,000 members of the community every
year. Being recognized alongside deadCenter Film and Red Earth is an indication
of the high caliber of work being done in the Arts in Oklahoma. We are so proud to
bring this recognition to Norman.”
