Hands-On Learning

Community

Kansas Wesleyan University plays an integral part of a robust arts community in Salina. Students are hired as interns or to design special projects for local businesses and organizations. For example, Salina Arts & Humanities utilizes the talents of graphic design students to create the marketing collateral for its annual Smoky Hill River Festival, and KWU Photography students and alumni are hired as festival photographers.

In addition to KWU’s strong ties in the arts community, students receive studio arts supplies, which are already included into tuition costs. KWU’s diverse faculty as well as its dedicated studios and laboratories offer student’s a chance to receive hands-on learning and experience.

The Gallery

Kansas Wesleyan houses its own art gallery in Sams Hall of Fine Arts. The Gallery hosts exhibits featuring the work of local and regional artists as well as artwork produced by KWU students. The Gallery hosts receptions for exhibiting artists, giving the campus and Salina community an opportunity to meet the artists.

If you are interested in exhibiting at The Gallery or would like more information, please contact Lori Wright at [email protected].
