Harvester Arts’ 2026–2027 gallery exhibitions are made possible in part by generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Artist Spotlight

This week, we are spotlighting Bronna Leach, a miniaturist. Her exhibition, A Safe Place in the Midst of Chaos, is currently on view at Harvester Arts. Bronna has been creating miniatures for as long as she can remember.

“From as far back as I can remember, I have had a drive to create. From the clay I dug out of the driveway after it rained to the scrap pieces of wood from my dad’s workshop and my mom’s fashionable lipstick caps, I have run the gamut of materials. For example, in the 70s, fancy beaded curtains were all the rage. However, coming from a small town, my supplies were limited. When my troll dolls needed a curtain to fine-tune their aesthetic, I had to get creative. Using my school glue, waxed paper and thread, I fashioned them a replica. This experience taught me what I still consider one of my most important skills, patience. To achieve the desired look, I had to slow down and let it happen.”

Come check out Bronna’s creations!

WAM PARTNERSHIP: EXHIBITION ON VIEW

Armando Minjárez Monárrez: En Cuerpo Presente

August 28, 2026 - February 7, 2027

Long before the rise of advertising, branding, and social media, empires understood that power had to be seen before it could be believed. Armando Minjárez Monárrez: En Cuerpo Presente explores how images become instruments of power. Monuments, rituals, architecture, souvenirs, advertisements, and brands across history have shaped not only how we see one another, but how we come to understand ourselves. Images do not simply reflect identity; they sanction it, circulate it, and assign value to it.

Rather than treating identity as something fixed or inherited, Minjárez Monárrez thinks of it as a cultural architecture constructed through images, memory, performance, and display. His sculptures inhabit the space between monument and commodity, artifact and souvenir, humor and critique. They resist fixed definitions of identity, not by offering alternative images, but by exposing the systems that produce them. If every society builds monuments to the stories it wants people to believe, En Cuerpo Presente asks what kinds of monuments we continue to build today, and what they ask us to believe about ourselves.

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.
