Courtesy of Rachel FosterThe temperature may be dropping, but our students, faculty and alumni are bringing the heat to October's Final Friday Gallery Crawl. Read on to learn where to see art by the ADCI community.
WSU ShiftSpace
Wichita State's off-campus, student-run gallery celebrates Horizontes this Final Friday by featuring the work of GLeo, the artist who is currently painting the largest mural in North America on the Beachner
Grain Elevator near Broadway and 21st Street. The exhibition also includes work by
Horizontes artists Felipe Ortiz and Ivan Salazar. Horizontes is directed by ADCI lecturer Armando Minjarez; his community & social practice class has been working with the project this semester.
A plaque they designed for Horizontes murals will be included in the exhibition. Current
ADCI student Dale Small serves as the art director for the initiative, which seeks to connect north Wichita
neighborhoods divided by an industrial corridor.
WSU ShiftSpace is a student-run gallery in the heart of the Commerce Street Arts District.
Funded by the Student Government Association, it serves as a platform for arts engagement
at Wichita State and in the larger community.
