10 a.m.: Story time with Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum
10:20 a.m.: Art project
11:30 a.m.: Performance by Great Plains Dulcimer Alliance

For our June 13 Art Together Program, Mark Arts is taking inspiration from the beauty of nature and music in our country to celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States and our current Land That I Love exhibition.

This program is perfect for kids who love art, nature and music.

We'll start the morning with a reading of "I Am Made of Mountains” by Alexandra S.D. Hinrichs, a lyrical picture book that celebrates the beauty of nature while exploring the diverse landscapes of the National Parks across the United States. The Wichita-Sedwick County Historical Museum will provide interesting facts about the land we are on and share real bison fur.

After story time, guests make their own landscape art, inspired by the many landscape paintings in Land That I Love.

To wrap up the fun, the Great Plains Dulcimer Alliance will join us at 11:30 a.m. for a performance using traditional mountain dulcimers. Kids will even be able to play a dulcimer themselves after the performance.

Free | RSVPs encouraged

Featuring a Tony Award-winning book by Steven Levenson (Fosse/Verdon), and a score by Grammy®, Tony®, Emmy® and Academy Award® winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (The Greatest Showman, La La Land, Dogfight, James and the Giant Peach), Dear Evan Hansen is a new classic, with a message that has resonated with audiences around the world: “You Will Be Found.”

Seventeen-year-old Evan Hansen has felt invisible his entire life. But when a tragedy shocks his community and thrusts him into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy, Evan is given the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to be somebody else. As his web of well-intentioned lies begins to unravel, though, Evan is forced to confront the fact that the price of belonging may be far steeper than he bargained for.
