Artist Exchange
In working toward its mission to create exchanges among art, artists and audiences that reveal life, the Salina Art Center relies upon creative partnerships with artists who serve their communities as progressive thinkers, leaders, and agents of culture and positive change. The Artist Exchange, initiated in 2006, is one such partnership. Each year, six Kansas artists - working independently or collaboratively in their studios - meet regularly for eight to ten months to share ideas, develop formal skills, and to support each other’s artistic practices. This rigorous interaction culminates in an exhibition at the Salina Art Center, featuring the work produced during this period. Artists participating in this year’s program include Marc Berghaus (Meade), Andrea Fuhrman (Abilene), Brady Hatter (Wichita), Amy Payne (Salina), Barbara Waterman-Peters (Topeka), and Sandy Wedel Salina).
Artist Exchange is made possible in part by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services and the R.C. Kemper Charitable Trust, UMB Bank, n.a., Corporate Trustee.
