Public Event
Spring Exhibition Opening Celebration

Are we on your calendar? It's time to celebrate the Ulrich Museum's spring exhibitions with an opening party featuring music, food, fun, and friends. Thursday, January 26 from 5-8 p.m. you're invited for a first look at our latest exhibits:
-Transmissions: The XXIV Faculty Biennial in the Polk/Wilson Gallery
-Nature in the Floating World: Images of Nature in Japanese and Chinese Art in the Beren Gallery
-Tuan Andrew Nguyen: The Boat People in the Amsden Gallery
As with all Ulrich public events, admission to the Spring Exhibition Opening Celebration is free and everyone is welcome! We're excited to see you there.
Nature in the Floating World and associated programs are generously supported by Shoko Kato Sevart in loving memory of her mother, Taka Kato; Pam Bjork; and Trish Higgins. The Ulrich is grateful for the ongoing support of Salon Circle members who make the Museum’s exhibitions and programs possible through their Salon memberships. We also receive funding for general operational support from the City of Wichita and Wichita State University.
Exhibition schedules will now be staggered
Staff is hard at work preparing our Spring exhibits and programs. Starting this spring, the dates of our exhibits will be staggered, so there will be more open gallery days available for you to explore.
All three exhibits open Jan. 26. Transmissions: the XXIV Faculty Biennial will run through April 22. Tuan Andrew Nguyen: The Boat People, a post-apocalyptic moving image work, is on view through May 6. Nature in the Floating World: Images of Nature in Japanese and Chinese Art is on exhibit until May 10. You'll want to see them all!
Share your Ulrich memories with us!
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.
