The Salina Art Center is excited to announce the opening of three dynamic exhibitions: Ann Resnick: Tell Me What You Think of Me, Part One: Something to Divine (West Gallery), bARBER: Smile, porque nos pasó (South Gallery), and James Kinser & Niki Grangruth: Muse (East Gallery).
The exhibitions will be on view from Sept. 25 through Dec. 29, 2024, offering a range of perspectives on identity, perception and self-reflection.
The Salina Art Center will host a reception for Ann Resnick on Friday, Sept. 27, from 5 to 7 p.m. at 242 S. Santa Fe Ave., celebrating the opening of Tell Me What You Think of Me, Part One: Something to Divine. The reception is free and open to the public, providing an opportunity to meet the artist, explore the exhibition and engage in conversations about the artwork. All gallery spaces will remain free and open throughout the exhibition’s run.
Curated by Ksenya Gurshtein, Resnick’s latest works explore the art of scrying, inviting viewers to interpret abstract, large-scale spray-painted images created from hand-drawn stencils. Visitors are encouraged to reflect on how personal perception shapes meaning, fostering both introspective and communal dialogue.
During the reception, guests will also have the opportunity to participate in interactive activities, including tarot readings, Myers-Briggs personality tests and handwriting sample submissions for a larger project. A custom survey station will be available for visitors to share their thoughts on the exhibition’s themes, contributing to a full-scale project set for 2026. Refreshments and drinks will be provided.
Mark your calendars for additional upcoming exhibition receptions: bARBER on Oct. 9 and Muse on Nov. 8.
