We’re thrilled to kick off the new year at the Cultural Center with Raw Artistry by Dr. Daniel D. Bowen. The opening reception will take place on January 9 from 4–7 pm, with additional hours on January 10 from 10 am–2 pm. The exhibition will continue every Friday from 4–7 pm and Saturday from 10 am–2 pm through February 14.

Each weekend will feature a reception with a unique lineup of local guest artists, musicians, artist talks, and special programming—making every visit a one-of-a-kind experience. Guest artists include Grace Sammoury, Molly Porter, Dewayne Anthony, and Angie Pickman, with collaborations alongside community organizations such as United Way, the Atchison Area Community Foundation, the Farmers Market, and more.

Dan’s work spans a wide range of styles and media, and each piece comes with a story you won’t want to miss. All sales from the exhibition will directly support the Atchison Art Association’s scholarship fund as well as that weekend’s featured guest organization. This is truly a show worth visiting again and again—you never know what inspiring moment you might catch.
