Current Exhibitions
Main gallery: DON FULLMER RETROSPECTIVE
DECEMBER 5th, 2025 - JANUARY 13th, 2026
The Hutchinson Art Center is proud to feature the work of Hutchinson artist Don Fullmer in our Main Gallery during the month of December into January.
Don Fullmer is a painter whose works are the creative culmination of a lifelong quest and desire for knowledge.
Stylistically, Fullmer’s influences include abstract artists, such as Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Richard Diebenkorn, whose techniques Fullmer experimented with and helped him develop his own artistic process. He also has a passion for printmaking and finds inspiration in the study of culture, history, myth, nature, religion, and science.
Fullmer’s work is not just a formal artistic exercise, but a way for him to visually communicate his thoughts with the wider world.
This exhibition is on display in the Main Gallery from December 5th, 2025 - January 13th, 2026.
Front Gallery: WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS BY CATHY WILKINS
DECEMBER 19th, 2025 - JANUARY 17th, 2026
The Hutchinson Art Center is excited to host the work of local artist Cathy Wilkins in our Front Gallery during the months of December and into January.
Cathy Wilkins, a self-taught artist, has been fascinated by anything related to art since childhood and decided at a very young age that she wanted to be an artist. However, her art took a backseat to raising her children and working as a cosmetologist, where she was able to take a creative approach.
Wilkins has dabbled in drawing, acrylics, and oils. Watercolor was one medium she was fascinated by and at age 60 she began to explore the medium. As the artist stated, “ I wasn’t getting any younger! It was love at first brushstroke!”
Wilkins takes inspiration from the world of nature and things she loves, inviting the viewer to find a personal connection with her subjects. She brings out the vibrancy of colors through layering, blending, and dry brushing techniques.
“Painting is an act of love for me and it is my hope to convey that feeling to my viewers,” says Wilkins.
We invite you to enter Cathy Wilkins’ world through her beautiful watercolors.
This exhibition is on display in the Front Gallery from December 19th, 2025 - January 17th, 2026.
