I've been hearing a lot of buzz recently about Mid-America Fine Arts, so I made a point to check it…read moreout while visiting Wichita in July 2010. I was greeted at the door and given a personal tour of the gallery. The Prairie Print Makers exhibition was still going on when I visited. I think 200-some pieces from regional artists were hung in the main gallery, and there were hundreds more pieces in the side rooms. The staff were very friendly and informed about the artists and works in their collection. I enjoyed the tour, and I wish I had more time to look through the pieces in the back rooms. I recommend paying a visit to Mid-America Fine Arts to fans and collectors living near or visiting Wichita.

While I was there, I toured the rooms and was very impressed with the variety of mostly local artists.

You can buy prints of her work or originals of her grand daughters oils and watercolors; they now continue to keep the business open. Judith Mackey captured the essence of the tall grass prairie that Chase County embodies and her grand daughters work does also. Originals of Jessica and Shawna Bell are remarkable priced around $100 and prints of Judith are half that price. The gallery is like walking into an old western hotel lobby. A great place to see or purchase some original art in a quaint small town on the prairie.

I moved to Wichita on a long-term but temporary assignment for work, having never visited or even met anyone from Wichita. On my 3rd day in town, I happened to pick up a CityArts catalog at a local coffee shop and immediately scrambled to make the registration deadline for the Silversmithing class. This is honestly the best move I've made in ages -- the class is CHEAP at $125 for 10 weeks/25 hours of instruction and so so so so so worth it. I've now taken 2 terms and am sad to be signing up for my final term before leaving my assignment in Kansas. Kathy has been an AMAZING teacher -- I've gone from knowing near NOTHING about metalwork to designing and crafting brass and silver pieces that strangers have asked to purchase. I could not recommend Kathi's classes more emphatically.
