The center is housed in a renovated historical building that once
served as Tulsa's water treatment plant and later the site of the

Bringing Fine Arts to our Children
Bringing fine arts to our children is a major objective of the
center. Working with both private and public schools, WaterWorks
creates art-enrichment programs for children from kindergarten
through 12th grade.
Also, the center works with school grant programs to provide onsite
workshops tailored to the needs of each school.
Each spring and summer the WaterWorks Art Center offers
reasonably-priced fine arts camps for children. Camp projects are
theme based,
and children work in a variety
of media for in-depth art experiences.
An annual Children's Art Show is held
in August in the center's gallery.
