This exhibition celebrates the work of Wichitan Charles “Chili” Capps, one of eleven original members of the Prairie Print Makers. The Prairie Print Makers–founded in 1930 by many of our region’s best artists–worked to make fine art accessible to everyday Kansans and joined with other print societies to create a broad culture of print collecting throughout America.
