HOLIDAY GIFT GALLERY 2026  

The Firehouse’s annual holiday boutique, Holiday Gift Gallery, highlights regional artists by showcasing their work for sale to the public in a festive extension of the year-round gift shop. Over one thousand Norman shoppers visited the FAC during last year’s Holiday Gift Gallery, browsing the selection of original and unique artwork in a variety of mediums and learning more about the community of artists represented at the Firehouse. We hope you will be a part of this year’s festivities!  The Firehouse is seeking seasonal items of varying price points to captivate customers who are looking for both gifts and décor. 

Artwork submitted must be original, handmade, and created by the artist in the last 3 years. The 2026 Holiday Gift Gallery is open to regional artists working in a wide range of mediums; work accepted includes ceramics, photography, paintings, original prints, drawings, wood, metal, jewelry, blown glass, slumped glass, stained glass, mixed media pieces, seasonal décor, and some accessories. Items not accepted include clothing (except for hand-woven items), copy writed work, university themed items, food, and toiletry items.
