From 2007-2010, Sirron worked for a project funded by the National Science Foundation through a local, non-profit organization called the Bay Area Video Coalition. In this capacity, Sirron developed the curriculum and served as the instructor of the 3D Animation and Gaming Technology course where he taught low-income, underrepresented San Francisco youth. This sparked Sirron’s love for teaching.
Norris’s newest endeavor is his art studio & gallery (opened February 2010), located in San Francisco’s Mission district, where he is able to further pursue his passion for teaching. Norris aims to offer art for the family and hopes to serve as an inspiration to up-and-coming artists. Children and adults can watch Norris paint live in his studio and right next door they may purchase reasonably priced finished items in his gallery at 1406B Valencia St. The Sirron Norris Studio & Gallery is a place where individuals can participate by connecting to their own creative process or simply watch the creative process of the artist. He offers full service cartooning classes and summer camps for youth. Through his new studio & gallery, Norris’s vision is to make fine art accessible to all
