The KMUW Artist Series began in the spring of 2004 as a way to highlight and promote Wichita's immense creative community. KMUW invites local artists to donate artwork to be featured on the shirts and coffee mugs that serve as thank you gifts for KMUW members during pledge drives. In the 19 years since the Artist Series began, 33 artists have been featured.
