Who We Are

Friends of WAM Board 2024

Friends of the Wichita Art Museum – April 2024

If you are passionate about art and love your community, consider becoming a “Friend.” Since 1960, the Friends of the Wichita Art Museum (FWAM) has dedicated time, talent and treasure to one of Kansas’ premier art museums, located in the heart of the Museums on the River district, and we’ve had enormous fun along the way. We are a body of men and women that has worked tirelessly to fulfill our mission to establish a permanent endowment for art acquisitions, exhibitions, and educational opportunities for the Wichita metropolitan community.

In February 1997, the Friends established what has become in more than a decade a $2 million+ endowment through its chief fundraising activities, including book sales, Art on a Monday (luncheon and presentation), and the Howard E. Wooden Lecture Series, a yearly event that spotlights an important area of American art.

If all of this isn’t enough fun, add trips to museums throughout Kansas and neighboring states, throw in a couple of parties a year, monthly board meetings with like-minded individuals, and you have a recipe for community service and lifelong friends.
