History & Purpose

Starting this year the Salina Art Center is hosting pop-up exhibitions 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.
