A year ago, Manhattan artist Nate McClendon visited Salina to gather footage from community members for a video portrait project.

He creates programs, events and activities to enhance and broaden the experience of various exhibits and artworks within the museum and greater Manhattan community.His video portrait project is grounded in the belief that every individual possesses a unique story to share and seeks to promote personal connections through the inclusion of a narrative provided by each subject.
