The Sunflower Biennial asked emerging artists to share their voice. What are the issues they face, what is their view of the world, what challenges do they face, in what do they find beauty? Join the Salina Art Center in welcoming young, emerging Kansas artists to our galleries. All selected artists are between 14 and 22 years old.
