The Historic Paseo Arts District, built in 1929, has served as Oklahoma City’s artist community since the 1970s. Throughout its colorful past, Paseo has undergone transformations. In the 1930s, the Elm’s Apartments were the place to view the art of the avant guarde in Oklahoma City. In the 1950s, Paseo was a recreational and retail area that included the attraction Paseo Plunge, a community swimming pool. The 1960-70s brought the hippies, bohemians, artists, and visionaries to the area. Currently, the Paseo is enjoying a renaissance. Today a vibrant group of artists and other interested people are transforming this community through creative thinking and arts activities.
