2027 Call for Artists - Solo, Group & Individual Works Welcome
Harvester Arts is now accepting solo and group exhibition proposals and individual artworks from artists at all stages of their careers, including first-time exhibitors, to be considered for curated group exhibitions in our 2027 exhibition calendar.
Join a vibrant community of creatives and help shape a year of dynamic, thoughtful exhibitions.
The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 31, 2026. For questions, contact info@harvesterarts.org.
Harvester’s artist-led Programming Committee will select proposals for solo and group shows, and curate group exhibitions based on the individual works submitted. Whether you’re proposing a full exhibition or submitting a few pieces, this is your chance to be part of Harvester’s 2027 lineup.
Harvester Arts is a collaborative, experimental space in Wichita dedicated to inclusive, community-connected exhibitions. We especially encourage submissions from artists and curators who have been historically underrepresented in gallery spaces. All media and genres welcome.

Keep it Together ICT Presents: A Friend Making Social Experience
August 15, 2026 | 6-10 PM |120 E 1st St N Ste 115 | Tickets linked below
This isn’t your typical social event where everyone stands around glued to the wall, hoping someone starts a conversation.
It’s an entire evening around making connections easy.
You’ll rotate through fun games and interactive activities that naturally get people talking. You’ll laugh, work together, discover shared interests, and meet a variety of people without ever having to worry about how to break the ice. No awkward introductions. No wandering around wondering who to talk to. Just structured, low-pressure fun that takes the stress out of meeting new friends.
Whether you’re looking for a new best friend, gaming buddies, people to attend events with, or just want to expand your circle, this event is built to help you make genuine connections.

Cure Violence ICT presents: The Space Between Us
August 16, 2026 | 5-7 PM | 120 E 1st St N Ste 115 | $10
The Space Between Us is a powerful conversation about transformation, redemption, and the unexpected friendships that can reshape communities.
Once separated by rivalry and conflict, former gang rivals now stand side by side as Violence Interrupters, proving that healing is possible and that the people closest to the problem are often closest to the solution.
Through personal stories, powerful photographs, spoken word poetry, and music, this event explores the journey from division to unity. Each image serves as a work of art and a window into lived experience, reminding us that while a picture may tell a thousand words, the stories behind those pictures have the power to change lives.
