Main Gallery: Figuratively Speaking: Selections from thE PERMANENT COLLECTION
JUNE 27th - AUGUST 1st, 2025
The Hutchinson Art Center is proud to display selections from the Hutchinson Art Association Permanent Collection in the Main Gallery this summer.
The Hutchinson Art Association has collected over 350 works of art by local, national, and international artists over its seven-plus decades of history.
This exhibition highlights artwork from the Permanent Collection that depicts the wonders of the human form and life, from naturalistic portrayals to abstract scenes, and everything in between. Even though individual pieces appear different, there are commonalities shared between artworks that reflect our connectedness as human beings.
This exhibition is on display in the Main Gallery from June 27th - August 1st, 2025.
Front Gallery: Assemblages by susan meyer
JULY 3rd - AUGUST 2nd, 2025
The Hutchinson Art Center is looking forward to exhibiting the the assemblage work of Susan Meyer, alongside the work of Melinda McDaniel, in our Front Gallery for the months of July and August!
Susan Meyer is an artist who has lived in Hutchinson, Kansas for about 3.5 years, having previously lived in Southern California and a few years in Northern Germany. Professionally, she worked as The Colorweaver for about ten years in the late 1990 to 2000s, designing and creating one-of-a-kind Irish Dance costumes used in competitions. She has branched into photography, painting, textile art, weaving, and unique handmade junk journals. Her curiosity and desire to challenge herself led to testing the waters of assemblage art.
Susan’s dresses were shipped over the entire United States and eastern Canada, and various pieces of her art and photography are on display in many homes on the west coast. She now takes her assemblage art on the road here in Kansas, entertaining seniors in retirement homes with the quirky pieces.
This exhibition is on display in the Main Gallery from July 3rd - August 2nd, 2025.
Front GALLERY: PAINTINGS BY MELINDA MCDANIEL
JULY 3rd - AUGUST 2nd, 2025
The Hutchinson Art Center is looking forward to exhibiting the work of Kansas artist Melinda McDaniel, alongside the assemblages of Susan Meyer, in our Front Gallery for the months of July and August!
Melinda McDaniel is a local artist who hails from Wichita, Kansas. A member of the community since 2013 and an all around creative, she flows between writing, singing, performing, and art. Her journey in Fine Arts expanded around 2020 initially using materials from her “day job” in Applied Arts as a means to express energies shown during dreams, meditations, visions, and downtime. From this she went on to participate in group showings and to publish her compilation “Lily, Are You Out There?”, available on Amazon and eBay. Her use of acrylics and mixed media has led her from drawings and acrylic pours to experimenting with the human form and landscapes in a semi-realistic style.
