Give the gift of art this holiday
In 1934 the Friends of Art at Kansas State University, now the Friends of the Beach Museum of Art, issued an original print — 1xbet online games login art professor John Helm's "Early Settler’s House" — as a premium for membership in the new organization.
Intended as a one-time offering, the gift print proved so popular that Salina artist Herschel Logan was asked to produce another print for members in 1935, beginning a tradition of recognizing Kansas-connected printmakers and photographers that continues today.
The 2019 gift print was released in conjunction with the museum's fall 2019 exhibition "Jeremiah Ariaz: Louisiana Trail Riders," selections from a photographic essay on African American trail riding clubs in southwest Louisiana. The artist, Jeremiah Ariaz, grew up in Great Bend and is now a photography professor at Louisiana State 1xbet online games login in Baton Rouge. Ariaz's gift print, "Gavin (front) and Jock (rear) Saddle Horses, Ride or Die Club (Opelousas, LA)," shows Gavin Sinegal and Jock Chambers preparing their horses for an afternoon trail ride.
