Ritual and Desire: WAM Summer Opening Party

Posted on June 11, 2017 by under Events.    

Here are some pictures from the Wichita Art Museum‘s summer opening party: Ritual and Desire. The exhibit showcases contemporary glass art by Beth Lipman, Cassandra C. Jones, and Lauren Fensterstock. The exhibit will be on display from now until September 10.

The summer opening party is one of our most favorite events that signify the beginning of summer. We love being able to preview the exhibits right as they open.

They usually have live music, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and a cash bar. Brian and I love checking out the exhibits at the art museum but there is no better time to check them out than at the summer and fall opening parties.

Fly By Night provided fun music as people milled about and socialized.

One of the Fly By Night band members, Joe Stumpe, is my friend on Facebook by way of Twitter and Wichita Eagle. Another, Cianna (or Cynthia), works for Accuweather and works in my office building so I see her all the time in the elevator. I had no idea that she’s part of the band until that night.

Brian and I tend to keep to ourselves at these events but we did have good conversation with two women.

I think they found us, and our propensity for selfies, amusing.

Here are some pictures of the colorful and yummy hors d’oeuvres at the party.

They also had chicken and pineapple skewers which I did not photograph. I thought the food was pretty good. Brian didn’t enjoy the offerings as much as I did. Naturally, he was starving.

We ended up bailing so we could get him fed. We ended the evening at the Hill, one of Brian’s favorite restaurants. Yes, we still go there despite everything. The food is that good. But I digress… Go check out Ritual and Desire when you get a chance. It’s pretty cool.
