Advancing arts and culture in Wichita
Amplify Arts
The Arts Council supports local artists, strengthens our city’s creative economy, and opens the arts to everyone through grants, programs, advocacy, and community partnerships.
What We Do
Where Wichita’s Creative Community Comes Alive
Each month we spotlight a new arts venue with a guided tour, a guest speaker, snacks, a cash bar, and relaxed networking with fellow art lovers. Free to attend and open to all.
Each year, the Arts Council honors outstanding artists whose creativity, leadership, and dedication strengthen our region’s arts and culture.
Our quarterly grants provide up to $1,000 for materials, production costs, living expenses, and more—giving artists the support they need to create and share their work.
Explore profiles, discover their work, and find out where to see their art in person. A growing hub that connects local artists with the community.
