He says his latest show at CityArts is a chance to bridge the gap between folks he has reached through what he calls “indie-level” shows, social media postings, and the local art establishment.2019-01-3001 minAn Artist's PerspectiveAn Artist's Perspective: CityArts BudgetThe City of Wichita has released its vague budget-cutting plan and CityArts is presented as a prime target.
