Art cooperatives have a long, albeit disjointed history in Norman.
University towns attract creative people and contribute to an atmosphere ripe for imaginative cooperation. In recent years, downtown has been the incubator for some of these endeavors, including Anty Shanty, Dope Chapel and Resonator Institute.
Involved with a few of these has been Norman artist and creative instigator Eric Piper.
âRadical programmerâ Piper has teamed up with fellow printmaker Jenna Bryan to launch Oscillator Press (OP), 315 E. Main St. Among OPâs stated goals is âenergizing and connecting art worlds and the public.â
