“Then and Now: A Centennial Celebration of Block Prints in Wichita, Kansas, 1922-2022” will be on display at the Wichita Art Museum from Feb. 26th until Aug 7th!
The International Block Print Renaissance began in the last decades of the 19th century in Europe, as artists and collectors rediscovered the block print medium. Beginning in 1922 with its annual print exhibitions, Wichita, Kansas, played a major role in expanding this renaissance throughout America.
