Not long after our 2011 capital campaign, which created our beautiful lobby space full of natural light, we began inviting
artists to present their works in our alcoves. With the help of Peggy Debey, we were able to connect with
artists in our community and share their works allowing the enjoyment of each experience at Theatre Salina to begin immediately
as guests entered the space. Each exhibit lasts through the duration of our mainstage productions, allowing us to host seven exhibits a year.
We are honored to be able to be a home for all creators, regardless of their medium.

About the work- All the works on display are part of an ongoing series of “Iron Maidens,”
female forms modeled from observation of live models and habitual pattern making.
All are cast iron from either a lost wax process or a scratch block open face mold,
combined with various enamel paints and mixed media materials.
MEET THE CURATOR
Meghan Hessman
Meghan is the owner of Sunflower Follies Art Studio and became the art curator for the gallery at Theatre Salina during its 64th season. She was born and raised in Clay Center, KS and moved here with her husband, Jake, and their two kids in 2019. Theatre Salina was one of the first things that they fell in love with here. As an artist herself, Meghan has participated in First Fridays, as well as local charities and art/vendor shows. She also has art and cards displayed in several shops downtown. “I am eager to give back to Salina’s art community,” says Meghan. Part of her dream is to become a mentor to new artists, while growing relationships with established artists. “I love promoting others and connecting people. We’ll have unique artists on display with each mainstage production and each of their pieces has a story to tell.”
