Artist friends--

We would like to invite you to participate in our July show at The Chanute Art Gallery. It is to be a themed show, "Nature," which encompasses a vast range of genres and subjects that can be submitted.
There is no charge for entering, and you may offer your pieces for sale. We are asking that it be original artwork which has not been exhibited at the Art Gallery in the past three years, but you can enter up to six pieces.
For further information, see the attached information sheet and entry form. Feel free to forward this information on to others who might be interested in participating also.
We are looking forward to seeing how you interpret the theme, and the diversity of media and subjects!

Mark your calendars for Museum After Hours this Friday. Stan Herd is a world-renowned artist known for his impressive crop art and striking murals. Stan is also a proud Kansan who grew up in Protection, Kansas, and has kept his roots planted in his home state. When the Kansas Museum of History opened in the 1980s, Stan painted a mural as the backdrop to the museum’s 1880 steam locomotive engine. When the museum closed in 2022 for a three-year renovation of its permanent exhibit gallery, Stan agreed to paint a second mural for the museum, this one featuring vignettes and images from 1960s and 1970s Kansas. Stan will talk about some of the highlights of his career and why continuing to be rooted in Kansas is so important to him and his artist’s identity. Program attendees will also get to walk into the museum gallery and learn more about Stan’s new mural, in addition to viewing some recent art acquisitions to the museum collection. The museum will be open during this time and admission will be free. The program starts at 6:30. Light refreshments will be served. This presentation can be livestreamed on the KSHS YouTube channel, or you can attend in-person at the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka.
