Join us for Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum’s First Friday exhibit opening of Why History Museums Collect Art.

This exhibition is part of the ongoing Lois Kay Walls visual art exhibition series produced by the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum.

Art is not only for Art Museums. If a picture is worth a thousand words, it stands to reason that art can tell us a lot about the times and place where it was produced. Local history museums exist to explore time and place.

Featuring works from C.A. Seward, John Noble, Edmund Davison, Birger Sandzen, Bruce McGrew, and more!

This special exhibit is one of dozens on view throughout the Museum, located in Wichita’s original City Hall building, and open to the public during these extended hours.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

"Mark Flickinger has been weaving his narrative of the American landscape for over two decades. As an instructor at Cowley College since 2001, Mark has shared his passion for Art History, Painting, and Drawing with countless students, and took on the role of department chair in 2015.

Mark holds a Bachelor's degree in Painting and Drawing from Wichita State University and a Master's in Painting from Indiana University. His work has graced galleries nationwide, from Philadelphia to Chicago, and resides in both private and public collections across the globe.

For Mark, painting begins as a deep, immersive response to the world around him. He often finds himself lost in the light, air, and movement of a landscape, which he then captures through oil studies, watercolors, drawings, and photographs. The process continues in the studio, where these memories, combined with tangible elements like rock and plant samples, are transcribed onto canvas. His paintings are more than just depictions; they are explorations of memory, place, and the indescribable beauty that exists in the landscape—a beauty that, as Henry David Thoreau once noted, is only as much as we are prepared to appreciate."

ON DISPLAY AT RSG APRIL 3rd – APRIL 25th, 2026

A thrilling rock opera based on the last week of Jesus’ life, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. The musical is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.

Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.

Breaking Barriers is an evening of contemporary ballet. The production will feature two works: one inspired by the Dockum Sit-In that explores systems of power, resistance, and collective change through movement, drawing on Wichita’s history and lived experience, and one honoring the influential women in Wichita’s history whose leadership and courage helped shape our community.

Featuring choreography by guest artists Yusha-Marie Sorzano and Sandra Parks, this production examines how persistence, perseverance, and presence can challenge long-standing structures and move change forward.

📍 B-29 Doc Hangar
🗓 April 3–4 at 7:30 PM
