Foot in the Door celebrates the artists who call Wichita home. Featuring the work of hundreds of Wichita artists—young and old, professional and emerging—the exhibition showcases 12×12-inch artworks—from paintings and prints to drawings and reliefs. Artworks were accepted on a first come, first serve basis from Wichita artists eager to get their “foot in the door” at the Wichita Art Museum. Organized in a large grid in the museum’s Paul Ross Gallery and Scott and Carol Ritchie Gallery, the exhibition is a visual testament to the depth and richness of Wichita’s artistic talent.

Staged in conjunction with the Wichita Art Museum’s 85th Anniversary, “the exhibition is an opportunity to recognize Wichita artists and make them feel welcomed and loved at their art museum. They are critical to the lifeblood at WAM,” says director Dr. Patricia McDonnell. Come see the spunky display and learn who got their “foot in the door” at WAM!
