Making Legends

The Firehouse Art Center, in partnership with SOONERCON, is proud to display the work of cosplayers in Making Legends: Cosplay Culture, opening Friday, May 17th, 2024. A collaborative exhibition featuring ten artists from across the country, Making Legends celebrates over a thousand hours of individual artistry to capture the legends we love.

Making Legends: Cosplay Culture celebrates the artist within us all. From a galaxy far far away to a comfortable hole in the ground, the art of cosplay brings characters from media and pop culture to life through hand-made costumes and props. Cosplayers are rarely professional costume designers; they are accountants, parents, and teachers whose passion for creation inspires them to celebrate the books, movies, and video games we all know and love. They become an elven princess, a foul-tempered monarch, or a soldier of the empire. Cosplayers push the boundaries of their own creativity to go where no one has gone before!
