Reclaiming Arts has a rich history of serving Oklahoma through Christian performing arts. Katha Bardel began Arts Revealing the Son (A.R.T.S.) over 50 years ago as the first performing arts center with a focus on ministry. During this time, A.R.T.S. provided dance and drama classes for many families in Edmond and productions, such as "The Bride" and "The Prince" become staples in the community. A.R.T.S. moved to it's current location in 2012. It was Katha's vision to provide in-house performances with our studio theatre and begin classes such as aerial, music, and theatre that are still offered today. Katha is known as a pioneer in the Christian arts industry and has touched countless lives with her teaching and directing. As Katha went into retirement, A.R.T.S became Edmond Performing Arts Center under the direction of her daughter, Mandy O'Neal. Mandy had a vision to grow the ballet program for the studio and focused on providing a strong, technical ballet program.

In 2017, Shelby Huckleberry became the new studio owner and changed the name to Reclaiming Arts. You can hear her story of God's provision and grace as the studio transitioned to Reclaiming Arts in the video. From the logo, to the name, and the families that were an integral part of those beginning moments, God had His hand in it. Reclaiming Arts is what it is today because of the brave women who said "yes" to God and followed His leadings.
