Join us for the opening celebration of Now and Then: From the Studio of Kathleen Shanahan, part of the Naftzger Family Regional Creatives exhibition series! Shanahan, who has lectured in painting and drawing across the country, has been active in Wichita more than thirty years. She has participated in artist residencies and exhibitions nationally and internationally, and she is represented by Reuben Saunders Gallery and Viridian Artists (New York). Now and Then brings together decades of Shanahan’s practice, pairing a few early examples of her art with recent projects. The exhibition opens to the public Saturday, September 6th; Shanahan’s artist talk on Friday, September 19th, will begin at 6:30 PM.
