Women’s Work presented by Trish Higgins Fine Art
Works by Ann Resnick, Pam Bjork, Kendra Cremin, Debra Smith, Sarah Faust Waddell and Madison Mullen.
Being Present by Derek Goon
Derek attempts to stay present and observe mundane beauty, trying to create strong compositions out of everyday, universally relatable midwestern scenes, situations, and locations. He enjoys capturing aspects of Wichita that feel familiar while trying to avoid stereotypical local and regional imagery.
Polyflora Revisited by Emily E. Ritter
Polyflora imagines a metaphorical future where plastics have fused with organic matter, creating hybrid species that replace the life we know today. This imagined environment is the planet’s rebirth after ecological collapse. Millions of years are required for organisms and systems to reintegrate materials into the life cycle, yet plastics — barely a century old — remain foreign to Earth’s processes. In this future, however, systems have adapted; evolution has shaped life capable of assimilating plastic as part of its being.
It’s Good to See You Again by Mason Talbott
This exhibition explores the reassurance found in enduring relationships, forged through repeatedly showing up for one another time and time again. By juxtaposing new partnership with older works and iterative echoes, the experience traces the deepening of relationship through creative collaboration and continued togetherness. As always, the room becomes an evolving interplay of light and shadow, fundamentally transformed by your Presence in it and with it. Only together, we witness the quiet beauty of staying, returning, and growing alongside one another. As always, it is so good to see you again.
Where the Path Shines by Shauna Canfield
My theme is Happiness. The intention is to bring joy and relaxation to viewers. My vision is to paint frequently to provide a wider range of images and subject matter to draw a bigger audience. Painting is my absolute passion! My dream is to create beautiful works for others to enjoy and truly appreciate. It’s my way of sharing my thoughts and visions without explanation.
Shape and Form
A collection of works by Wichita South High AP students: Shape And Form celebrate the work of students exploring ideas through both two- and three-dimensional media. Using drawing, painting, and ceramics, students translates personal concepts into visual form while building technical skill and creative confidence. Each piece represents a step in an ongoing process of experimentation, problem-solving, and artistic growth.
Meadow of Trees
A Community Response to Strength, Care, and Light by Tatiana Larsen and her students at Gordon Parks Academy
Meadow of Trees is a collaborative art installation created by students at Gordon Parks Academy and facilitated by art teacher Tatiana Larsen. The project began with a single, deeply personal artwork: a tree created by Marco Rosales Jr., a student responding to his experience with serious illness and brain cancer.
Harvester Arts’ 2026–2027 gallery exhibitions are made possible in part by generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
Following Andy Warhol’s will, the mission of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts is the advancement of the visual arts. The foundation manages an innovative and dynamic grants program while also preserving Warhol’s legacy through creative and responsible licensing policies and extensive scholarly research for ongoing catalogue raisonné projects.

Opening Reception
Eden Quispe: Narrative Threads
February 13, 2026 | 6 PM | Wichita Art Museum | Free
Eden Quispe spent her formative years between inner city Wichita and the Kansas countryside, establishing an early passion for art and an interest in culture. After graduating from Wichita State University, she lived independently for five years in Lima, Perú, teaching art and getting to know Perú’s culture and textile heritage.
Now based in Newton, Kansas, Quispe creates tapestries observing the centrality of motherhood in child-rearing using scenes from her own mixed culture household. As a mother of four, Quispe creates her work from a place of embraced chaos. Her own children are present when the works are being made, her children often adding their own marks to the images.
Many of the embroidery pieces collaged into Quispe’s work are over 50 years old and were handmade by women whose role was usually centered in the home. Other more contemporary items, such as clothing from the artist’s family, cloth toys from the artist’s children, and items from her husband’s Hispanic heritage are also worked into the pieces. These object memories are sewn together, painted, and printed on to create quilted collages honoring women whose stitchwork never got its time in the spotlight.
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.
