Four exhibitions comprise the 127th annual Midwest Art Exhibition, at the Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery January 26-April 20. The exhibition includes:

Rearview Mirror, a retrospective by McPherson painter Wayne Conyers
Enigma, paintings by Brian Hinkle of Wichita
Selections from the Society of American Graphic Artists 89th Annual Members Exhibition
Sandzén-Greenough Family Print Highlights from the Permanent Collection

The Midwest Art Exhibition was founded in 1899 by three local Lindsborg artists – Birger Sandzén, Carl Lotave, and G. N. Malm – as a complement to the annual Messiah Festival held at Bethany College. Today, it represents the longest running annual art exhibition in Kansas and primarily features works by artists invited by the Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery or from the gallery’s permanent collection.
