We are excited and preparing to welcome you back in the Beach Museum of Art! The museum plans to re-open on August 24, 2021. The re-opening is special as the museum celebrates its 25th anniversary during the 2021-2022 season!
“Exploring art with everyone virtually has been really great — and we aim to continue making art adventures available online — but we’ve missed seeing everyone in person. We look forward to seeing you often in the galleries, in the auditorium, in the studio classroom, the Meadow and, when you prefer, online,” – Linda Duke, Beach Museum of Art Director
Starting Tuesday, Aug. 24, the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University will offer two ways to enjoys its exhibitions and programming: online and in person. The museum’s regular hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays; and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays. Admission and parking are free.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary the museum has planned a truly unprecedented lineup of exhibitions and programs. Exhibitions include Gordon Parks: Homeward to the Prairie I Come, Doug Barrett: Find Your Voice, John Steuart Curry: Sunrise over Kansas, David Lebrun’s Transfigurations: 45 Paleolithic Handaxes and more, complimented with programs by world-class artists and experts. For more information on exhibitions visit beach.k-state.edu. For calendar of events in the Art in Motion program series visit beach.k-state.edu/calendar
The Beach Museum of Art will follow K-State’s guidelines for COVID-19 health and safety procedures after reopening. For more information visit k-state.edu/covid-19.
Can’t be more happy to see how all my favorite places finally start to reopen in person. Of course, virtual lectures were great fun, but I really miss this unique atmosphere that you can feel only while wandering around different exhibitions. I swear, even the air is so unique that you immediately forget about all your problems and dive right into this magical world of art.
