Pop Up Community Gallery

History & Purpose

Salina Art Center hosts pop-up exhibitions in our Wedel Financial Group Community Gallery to allow local artists more opportunities to show their work, while also staying in a selective concept. This will allow new and seasoned artists alike to participate in exhibitions displaying their interpretations of the decided theme.

Hope Steinle: April Showers Bring May Flowers

ARTERY COMMUNITY ART | APRIL 1-25
HOPE STEINLE | APRIL 29-MAY 24

RECEPTION: FIRST FRIDAY | MAY 1 | 5-7pm

April Showers Bring May Flowers is a two-part exhibition, perfectly encapsulating spring time in Kansas. Created as a great way to encourage the community to create art, as an homage to Earth Day, and to host Lawrence pressed flower artist, Hope Steinle. Friends and families are encouraged to take part in the community art exhibition. To welcome in the April showers, friends and families are encouraged to "grow" a flower in part one of the April Showers Bring May Flowers exhibtion. Create your own paper flower at our bouquet station, get creative; use any colors you want. Your flower will be put on our garden wall in celebration of Earth Day! The work in Hope Steinle’s exhibition connects people to the memories they make, and the world around them with pressed flower arrangements. Her process began in her own garden as she realized “the beauty and peace that nature offers.” Through her work she hopes to inspire peace, joy, nostalgia, and reinvigorate memories connecting to the flowers in her pieces.
