Performing Arts Studio Membership Opportunities Norman’s Performing Arts Studio (PAS) founded in the fall of 2003 with a mission to create and present excellent and innovative fine arts programs for the enrichment and education of our community, is located in Norman’s historic Santa Fe Train Depot, 200 South Jones Ave. “We are the new kid on the arts block” says Board President Edward Adwon. “We have developed outstanding programs in our short existence, and are now offering members of the community the opportunity to support Summer Breeze Concerts, Winter Wind Concerts, Gallery Exhibitions and Second Sunday Poetry Readings -- the primary programs of PAS -- through your tax deductible membership donations.” A Senior’s Theater Program has just begun with Radio Theater Live, and additional concert series are being developed. “Membership support will be important to maintaining the high quality of both existing and future programs.” says Adwon. “PAS programs help to make Norman one of the best places in the country to live.” “Grants from the Norman Arts Council, Oklahoma Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts provide a base of financial support for our programs” says Executive Director Nancy McClellan, “and The City of Norman provides our Depot home. Rental of the Depot for weddings, parties and meetings helps fund operating expenses. Individual and Corporate Sponsorships make it possible for the very popular Summer Breeze Concerts, attended by thousands, to remain free to the public, and for Winter Wind Concerts and Gallery Exhibitions to feature outstanding artists. Funding remains tight, however, and membership dollars will help keep PAS and our programs financially healthy.” says McClellan. A schedule of membership categories and benefits follows.
