GALLERY UPDATE

Here's what's going on—and coming up—in our galleries:

Grafly Gallery:
Ulrich Co-Lab Phase 2 open now through December 7

For the second phase of this visitor-centered curatorial experiment, we take you through the process of creating an exhibition. No doubt you have heard of the job of an art curator, but do you know what they do? Learn about art exhibitions, research your concept, color, and arrange your selection of artworks using an app specifically created by Wichita State University School of Digital Art’s students. We are thankful to Emprise Bank for being the lead sponsor of this exhibition.

Beren Gallery:
OPENS TODAY-July 29: [RE]POSE: Leisure Bodies and Empowered Postures

Featuring works from the Ulrich permanent collection as well as special works on loan, [RE]POSE reflects on the reinterpretation of the well-known art historical theme of the reclining figure, and encourages viewers to think about rest in their own lives, to acknowledge the power and privilege of leisure, and to question the agency of their own bodies and space.

Polk/Wilson and Amsden galleries:
Opening August 26: Dream Machine: Fantasy, Surreality, and Play

Dream Machine is an exciting, interactive experience of the fantastical. A preoccupation with our dreams and nightmares has been demonstrated by artists and writers for centuries. Experience works by a diverse group of modern and contemporary artists that interpret themes of fantasy, play, the surreal, invention, symbols, the natural world, and the metaphysical.
 
Our 2024 Fall exhibitions and associated programs are made possible by the generosity of Ulrich50 donors, for which the Ulrich is very grateful. The Ulrich extends sincere thanks to members of Ulrich Friends with Benefits, whose ongoing support makes programming possible. The City of Wichita and Wichita State University provide funding support for the Ulrich’s general operations.
