The Ulrich 50

 

Established in 1974, the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art is celebrating 50 years of bridging the intellect of campus with the beauty of artistry, serving as a community resource and showcasing art in Wichita. Throughout 2024-25, the museum will recognize this accomplishment with The Ulrich50, a series of events and exhibitions to celebrate the important work of the last half-century and pave the way for new opportunities.
