The Ulrich is excited to host June's ARTS MIXR, a collaboration with the City of Wichita Division of Arts and Cultural Services and the Arts Council.
These free and very informal monthly gatherings are open to artists and art lovers of all ages and abilities who are interested in learning more about the arts in Wichita. The goal is to connect creatives throughout our community and spark conversations and partnerships.
Each month, the ARTS MIXR takes place at a different Wichita arts and cultural facility. We are excited to welcome you to our galleries for this event, 6-8 p.m., June 27 to mingle with our friends in the arts community. This event is free and everyone is invited.
Susan Copich's Mediated
Femininities: One Body, Many Stores
Thursday, June 29
5:30 p.m. | Reception
6 p.m. | Program
In conjunction with her exhibition Susan Copich: Staged Stories, on display through July 15 in the Polk/Wilson Gallery, the artist will choose a selection of her images to explore the underlying intentions behind each photograph.
She will delve into the technical, metaphorical, and psychological layers that make up each image and share her inspirations for each of her series and the creative decisions she made during the process. Additionally, she will touch on the subconscious overarching themes that reveal themselves over time and through perspective. Thursday, June 29, join us for a reception with the artist at 5:30 p.m. The program begins at 6 p.m., with a question and answer segment following the talk. This event is free and everyone is invited.
The Ulrich is grateful for the ongoing support of Ulrich Friends with Benefits members who make the Museum’s exhibitions and programs possible through their UFWB memberships. We also receive funding for general operational support from the City of Wichita and Wichita State University.
Have you shared your Ulrich memories with us yet?
Our 50th anniversary is right around the corner (in 2024) and we're planning lots of great exhibitions and events to celebrate the Museum's excellence. One thing we are working on is collecting memories from folks who have been connected to the Ulrich over the years. Whether you are a present or past employee, a donor, volunteer, student, or general visitor, we'd love to hear your favorite memories of the Ulrich. We've created this webpage, which has a form on it, to help you share your stories. The memories we collect will be shared throughout our 50th anniversary celebrations and might even end up in a book we're putting together. We'd love to hear your stories.
