Community Art Connections
content
We love finding ways to share the work of local artists (past and present) with our visitors. Topeka has a rich, vibrant community of artists who bring color and personality to the city.
Our exhibits are built on themes ranging from craft methods to science and history topics. We want to connect with artists who have made pieces that fit our exhibit themes.
Tell us about your art! Take a look at our upcoming exhibit list. Do you have something you think might be the perfect fit for one of these exhibitions? If so, please use the form linked below to share information and photographs about your piece.
