We encourage FAI children to do their own work. FAI policy is that parents do not join children in the classroom. Thank you for understanding.

FAI HISTORY..... 
               The Fine Arts Institute of Edmond is housed in its own 8,000 square foot beautiful building in a great location across

the street north from the downtown post office.  Over 2,500 students took in-house classes during 2010-11.  Class curriculum includes:  drawing, painting, clay, pottery, early music education, theatre arts, mixed media, printmaking, jewelry design,

seasonal art and more.       
                The FAI sponsors the Edmond Youth Chorus, two children’s plays, the statewide Fine Arts & Literature Academic meet, a statewide Youth Impressions juried art show and features a new exhibit each month in its gallery.
                “Our motto is ‘all ages and all stages’ and we start with creative elementary classes for preschoolers and have outstanding in-depth adult classes as well,” states Mitzi Hancuff, now in her 24th year as Executive Director.
                The Fine Arts Institute is a financially sound and well respected non profit organization.   Strong partnerships, expanding cultural programming and strong enrollment continues.  The Edmond community has embraced the Institute for over 27 years with students and corporate and individual patrons.
                Led by an outstanding board of directors of Edmond’s finest leaders, a talented and certified faculty, and dedicated staff, the Fine Arts Institute looks to the future to continue to provide cultural enrichment for our community.
