Wichita Art Museum Free on Saturdays

This is a great opportunity to find wonderful art to buy, pick up great used or rare books, stroll through the museum’s sculpture garden, tour the art museum, enjoy live music and delicious food from the Muse Cafe or the food trucks parked outside.

The art show and sale portion of the event is held outdoors.

Artist tents will be scattered around the paved areas of the museum grounds, where you’ll find paintings, ceramics, photography, mixed-media, and other art that will make a perfect gift or new treasure in your own collection.

You’ll not only be able to peruse and purchase art, but also chat with the artists themselves.
