We are looking for bold, imaginative designs that reflect the vitality of Wichitaโ€™s arts and culture scene and transform this unexpected space into something memorableโ€”a moment of delight, discovery, or surprise that invites visitors to linger and, yes, take a selfie.

The Ulrich Museum of Art invites artists to transform one of our restrooms, affectionately known as the Flushing Galleries, on the lower level at the museum. Restrooms are rarely considered a creative destination. We think they should be!

Inspired by the idea that art is essential, the Art Matters Campaign and its newest initiative, Adopt-a-Sculpture, are designed to secure both the immediate vibrancy and long-term sustainability of the Ulrich by making selected works from the Martin H. Bush Outdoor Sculpture Collection available for โ€œadoption.โ€

The Ulrich Museum's Art Matters Campaign launched with a lead gift of $180,000 from Peri Widener โ€™78. When the donor spoke at a symbolic unveiling on April 29, Peri compares her life to a mosaic โ€” from her studies at Wichita State as a fine arts major to her graduation with a journalism degree, to her career from which she retired as major vice president and general manager of Boeing Global Services. Widener, alongside Merlin Reiser, chairman of the board at Reiser Group Sonic Management Co., LLC, โ€œadoptedโ€๐˜—๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜–๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜น by Joan Mirรณ as part of the Adopt-a-Sculpture initiative for six years with a combined $300,000 gift.

โค๏ธ Thank you, Peri for your support, vision, and dedication to the arts! โค๏ธ
