WAM Regional Creatives Exhibition: Now & Then by Kathleen Shanahan
Wichita Art Museum | Free and on view through Jan. 11, 2026
Wichita-based artist Kathleen Shanahan explores “all the gritty relationships possible” in her mix media canvases — both in the shrewd and slippery visual links she creates and in her investigation of sensory contrasts. Now and Then: From the Studio of Kathleen Shanahan reunites early examples of her art with recent projects, inviting viewers to chart the “gritty relationships” in her work. A Jack-in-the-pulpit flower’s slender stem and undulating bloom; a water bird’s S-curve neck and scissors-shaped head; a dog’s corkscrew tail; a child’s bouncy curls — these are a handful of the many images she rhymes, layers, and splices together.
WAM’s Naftzger Family Regional Creatives exhibition series is dedicated to exhibiting art by local artists. This program is a partnership with Harvester Arts, a local nonprofit art organization fostering opportunities for Wichita creatives. Their core values of experimentation, capacity building, and community engagement are a framework for this partnership, which includes this exhibition space and programming with local creatives, including performances, talks, and pop-up experiences.
