The Arts Council

06/23/2026

Wichita area artists, artisans, and art supporters are invited to join the Arts Council for our July ARTS MIXR: Origami in the Garden at Botanica, 701 N. Amidon, from 5 - 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14.

This is a great opportunity to see ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN, a monumental outdoor sculpture exhibition currently on view at Botanica. Created by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box, the exhibit takes origami to another level, transforming paper into museum-quality sculptural metal artworks. They feel at home in the wondrous setting of botanical gardens, since paper originates in plant life and origami is made of paper.

ARTS MIXR is a free and very informal gathering, open to artists and art lovers of all ages and abilities who are interested in learning more about the arts in Wichita. Our goal is to connect creatives throughout our community and spark conversations and collaboration.
