WAM is preparing to celebrate seventy five years of collecting, preserving and promoting art to the Wichita community and beyond; and we want you to be involved. In September, we kicked off a year long anniversary celebration with a rare exhibition of Wyeth family works of art.

In your next newsletter, and in the calendar section of the website, we’ll reveal all that the Museum is planning to commemorate our special year. You can look forward to many special exhibitions, events and parties that say “thank you”, for supporting us the last seventy five years. Join us as we look forward to another seventy five years at WAM - Celebrating the Past, Framing the Future.

Here are just a few events we have coming up in the next couple of months.
