American Art Awards Names The Best Gallery In Kansas: CityArts
The American Art Awards has announced its selection of the 20 Best Galleries in USA for the year 2023, with CityArts receiving the award for the best gallery in Kansas. The board bases decisions on years established, industry reputation, online interest, location, size, aesthetics, socially relevant exhibits, motivational and educational programs, represented artists and references, among other criteria.
AMERICAN ART AWARDS: “Each year we pick a variety of galleries in appearance and genres, and this year is no exception. In our Top 20 for 2023, we chose the largest gallery in the Southwest and the largest exhibition space in Florida and the largest in Austin, Texas. An Atlanta organization specializing in black art won in Georgia, a bold Vegas pop hotspot won in Nevada, and museums were chosen for Kentucky and South Dakota. We also selected one of New York’s only non-profit galleries, downtown Indianapolis’ premier event venue space and an enormous Kansas institution which is fulltime home to 35 artists. We decided on several galleries owned by notable painters, some women-run, and some specializing in Western impressionsim, others in abstract, others in realism. Most our Top 20 represent contemporary paintings, sculpture, digital art and photography — but we do have businesses exhibiting old master works from Europe, Asia and the Americas.”
AMERICAN ART AWARDS: “Located in a three-story building in historic Old Town district, CityArts is home to more than 35 professional artists who teach art to the community and engage with students who learn how to create pieces of art in a supportive community setting. Year-round classes are offered in digital arts, photography, mixed media, silversmithing, glass fusing, glass blowing, painting, pottery and drawing. For 25 years, the organization has been dedicated to providing education, information and artistic opportunities to all members of the diverse Wichita community.”
CityArts is owned and operated by the City of Wichita.
