The Wichita Art Museum lays out a new welcome mat to the community with the Art Garden Grand Opening on Saturday, September 26. Admission is free.
The Art Garden has transformed the lawn around the museum building into a lush oasis in the heart of the city. Features include the Paula and Barry Downing Amphitheater, Lattner and Walker Family Plaza, Jayne Milburn Sculpture Plaza, Slawson Family North Garden, and Tom and Myra Devlin Desert Garden.
Eleven exceptional sculptures—including masterworks by Henry Moore and Wichita native Tom Otterness—have been newly sited with surrounding landscape designed to frame and showcase the art.
