Arts Partners Wichita

Arts Partners has been a cornerstone of Wichita’s education and arts scene for over 20 years, inspiring thousands of youth through its talented artists. As Arts Partners embarks on an exciting new chapter with expanded programs, we’re thrilled to present a public showcase celebrating the creativity that defines our mission. This vibrant exhibition features visual arts, music, theater, and more, all tied to the theme of nurturing the future like a garden. Expect a visual arts exhibition and a dynamic multimedia experience filled with song, and laughter, showcasing the diverse talents of Arts Partners’ artists.

What a day with Arts Partners and the amazing students from Maize High School! 🎨✨

We spent the day exploring how art tells stories across our city — from learning about public art and the mural cloth process (plus creating mini murals to take back to their school!), to walking through Chester I. Lewis Reflection Square Park and discovering the meaning behind Adinkra symbols and the artwork throughout the space.

Then we headed to the Wichita Art Museum for a tour of the incredible Alex Katz exhibition and Stephen Towns exhibition exhibits before ending the day in the studio creating Katz-inspired storytelling backdrops starring themselves.

A full day of creativity, culture, collaboration, and seeing how art can connect people, history, and community. 💛
