IN THE GALLERIES
On view Jan. 2-30, 2026
OPEN GALLERY HOURS
Mondays-Fridays: 3-6 PM

January Harvest
A group exhibition featuring works by members of the Wichita Sketch Club alongside local artists Chris Jantz, Connor Holmes, Ellie Dunlap, Christina Bruce, Hannah Cutter, and Alex Freund’s Detour Wichita poster series.
PIECES
A fundraiser for Gallery Place Collectives featuring portions of community mural walls from 2021-2025. Harvester Arts’ Gallery Place Collective is a team of multi-disciplinary artists who create engaging activations for the community. The proceeds earned from these pieces will go directly to support the collective.
Ethereal Currents
Ethereal Currents presents a body of work by Monica Morris where paintings are steeped in atmosphere, movement, and quiet introspection. Using a process-driven approach, each artwork begins with handwritten journaling or gestural drawing that remains hidden beneath sweeping motions, layered textures, and translucent fields of color. In this series, forms dissolve into fluid transitions between light and shadow, creating spaces that feel suspended between the tangible and the intangible. The paintings invite the viewer to linger in these thresholds, where edges blur and boundaries soften, evoking a sense of weightlessness and calm.
Ethereal Currents is an invitation to pause, breathe, and experience the subtle pulse of what lies just beyond sight — a space where presence becomes a form of quiet transcendence.
Nathaniel McManis / Charlottie
An exhibition of framed poetry.

When Harry Met Sally
Synopsis: Sex always gets in the way of friendships between men and women. At least, that’s what Harry Burns believes. So when Harry meets Sally Albright and a deep friendship blossoms between them, Harry’s determined not to let his attraction to Sally destroy it. But when a night of weakness ends in a morning of panic, can the pair avoid succumbing to Harry’s fears by remaining friends and admitting they just might be the perfect match for each other?
What Works
January 27, 2026 | 5:30-7:30 PM
What Works is a free, two-hour workshop that shares the common behaviors of artists with enduring, sustainable practices. Grounded in the real concerns artists face, it approaches career building from the artist’s point of view. These ideas come directly from thousands of artists across disciplines who have participated in the Artist INC program over the past 15 years and form the foundation of Artist INC.
Artist INC is facilitated by Harvester Arts and made possible with support from the Wichita Arts Council, Mid-America Arts Alliance, and the Kansas Arts Commission.
