January Harvest
A group exhibition featuring works by members of the Wichita Sketch Club alongside local artists Chris Jantz, Connor Holmes, Ellie Dunlap, Christina Bruce, Hannah Cutter, and Alex Freund’s Detour Wichita poster series.
PIECES
A fundraiser for Gallery Place Collectives featuring portions of community mural walls from 2021-2025. Harvester Arts’ Gallery Place Collective is a team of multi-disciplinary artists who create engaging activations for the community. The proceeds earned from these pieces will go directly to support the collective.
Ethereal Currents
Ethereal Currents presents a body of work by Monica Morris where paintings are steeped in atmosphere, movement, and quiet introspection. Using a process-driven approach, each artwork begins with handwritten journaling or gestural drawing that remains hidden beneath sweeping motions, layered textures, and translucent fields of color. In this series, forms dissolve into fluid transitions between light and shadow, creating spaces that feel suspended between the tangible and the intangible. The paintings invite the viewer to linger in these thresholds, where edges blur and boundaries soften, evoking a sense of weightlessness and calm.
Ethereal Currents is an invitation to pause, breathe, and experience the subtle pulse of what lies just beyond sight — a space where presence becomes a form of quiet transcendence.
Nathaniel McManis / Charlottie
An exhibition of framed poetry.
