Last Saturday, we hosted the opening reception for "Weapons of Choice Photographic Exhibit: The Artist, Architect & Activist" 💛

This collaborative exhibition showcases the diverse talents of renowned photographer, artist, and activist Gordon Parks, architect Charles McAfee, and the emerging voices of the Youth of the Wichita Community. Each artwork in this collection will offer a unique exploration of artistic expression, delving into the realms of photography, applied art, and architectural interpretations. Additionally, student works from Wichita middle school and high school students depict societal injustices as seen through the eyes of the youth, inspired by Gordon Parks.

This collaborative display is presented by Gordon Parks Academy, Ulrich Museum of Art, Shift Space, Cadman Art Gallery and the Wichita Chapter of Links, Inc. The exhibit will be open through the month of March!

Enhacing the Student Experience

The Cadman Art Gallery at Wichita State University exists to provide students an outlet for their creative endeavors. To exhibit in the Cadman, students must apply, interview and be selected by a panel of Wichita State peers, staff and faculty.
