First Friday Reception: DEPARTURES Exhibition

Join us for First Friday at the Salina Art Center!

You're invited to the opening reception of Departures, a deeply moving exhibition exploring theme of aging, loss, spiritual renewal, and ecological legacy.

Presented in partnership with Heartland Prairie Cemetery and the Central Kansas Death Care Collective, Departures invites artists to reflect on end-of-life, death, grief, transformation, and healing.

In this exhibit, the artist's narrative is an essential component—each piece on display is accompanied by the personal story behind the work.

Together, this collection seeks to deepen our community's understanding of grief, remembrance, and life's transitions across diverse cultures and belief systems.
