A huge THANK YOU to Envista Federal Credit Union our 2026 Third Thursday Sponsor, for helping bring creativity, connection, and community to downtown Hutchinson in such an exciting way this season.
Because of Envista’s generosity and commitment to supporting community arts experiences, we were able to host a live Art Battle featuring 8 talented local artists — each creating original pieces in just 20 minutes while the crowd watched the creativity unfold in real time.
Third Thursday patrons voted for their favorite piece throughout the evening, and the People’s Choice Award went to 17-year-old local artist Stefan Larsson.
Every piece created during the event was purchased, with proceeds helping support future arts programming through Hutch Rec and Third Thursday.
Partnerships like Envista’s make experiences like this possible. Their investment goes beyond sponsorship — it helps create opportunities for local artists, gives young creatives a platform to shine, and strengthens the vibrant community spirit that makes Third Thursday so special.
We are incredibly grateful for their continued support of the arts and our community.
