PASEO ARTS ASSOCIATION
The Paseo Arts Association (PAA) is a non-profit, 501c3 organization that manages the monthly First Friday Gallery Walks, the annual Paseo Arts Festival, the Paseo Arts Awards and Paseo FEAST. Since our move in 2020, our expansion and creation of the Paseo Arts and Creativity Center has bolstered our visibility and our programming growth in the heart of OKC. We now manage three art galleries with monthly art exhibitions, a gift shop, a photography studio and 10 artist studios. The Paseo Arts Association hosts 30 art exhibitions by local Oklahoma artists every year, including five juried shows and art workshops on a variety of mediums. We also organize the Robbie Kienzle Artist Workshop Series, teaching professional development for artists.
The Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits hosted its 18th Annual Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence (ONE) Awards on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, OK. The event honored 18 nonprofits from throughout the state for superior leadership and exceptional service to their constituents and communities. At the awards, the Paseo Arts Association was named a winner in the Arts and Humanities category and awarded a $7,500 grant!
For over 40 years, the PAA has shaped the Paseo Arts District into a signature location amongst our visitors. This recognition has proven that the PAA’s efforts have successfully served the community by providing creative outlets and exposing the community to the arts!
