“The Manhattan Art Society” is a group of about 25 artists, who get together and work on projects and share tips and advice weekly. Their main goal is to let their skills in art grow, and to promote art with the communities of North Central Kansas.

Our group concerns itself with primarily the two-dimensional aspects of art, such as drawing and painting. Many of our members have art degrees from many of the colleges and universities in Kansas. Several have taught the subject, and all of our art majors, share their abilities with all members as we paint/draw together.

Experience the talent and vision of our local artists and discover how art continues to shape and inspire our Downtown community. Come celebrate the arts and connect with those who make it thrive! 💫
