Wichita Fine Art Atelier was born of a love of the art. Also known as W-F-A-A, it began as a drawing club before it became clear that artists needed direction and know-how to advance their careers. After a trial run in the mall, WFAA moved into a multipurpose space leaning toward the arts. KMUW's Torin Andersen talked with co-founders Don Praseuth and Vince Wood about the organization’s history, its services and its mission.
