We will be needing volunteers to help run the different stations throughout the building during this fun, FREE, family event.
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman will be there to inspire you to be your own superhero artist to make your own masterpiece. The excellent artwork of these heroes can be utilized in a picture with them or to become the hero of your choice. Enjoy the artwork that can extend your imagination to great heights and let your spirits soar.
New this year, will be our "Discovery Stations" that guide a child to enjoy and explore the world of color and art. Go on a hunt through-out the building to find just what is in store for you. You will discover the colors that might be monochromatic or complimentary. Find out what happens when you adjust "Mr. Potato Head" just right and you have a remarkable sculpture. Look for all of the centers that will be available just for you to have fun.
There will be galleries, artists, and artwork. You will meet the artists of the Kemp and observe how they create the artwork that has made them such an accomplished talent. In the What’s Up Downstairs Gallery will be the extraordinary artwork of Larry Hamilton that absolutely pays attention to the details. In the West End Studio will be Kerri Dunham with incredible photography with a Choctaw flair. In the NorthLight Galley will be Travis Huffhines with paintings that will cover a span of concepts.
Special activities outside include making a bubble collage, a chalk mosaic, or even your own version of a sculpture. In the Sculpture Garden you can go on an adventurous scavenger hunt to learn more about the sculptures that were just installed in May.

About Kemp Center for the Arts

Mission Statement
The purpose of the Arts Council is to Nurture and Strengthen the Artistic, Cultural, and Educational quality of our Community and surrounding areas.
Description
Feeling the need to increase the importance of the arts in this community, The Arts Council was launched in 1993 as a local grassroots movement. At that time, no one envisioned what is now the Kemp Center for the Arts. The mission of the Arts Council then, and still today, is to nurture and strengthen the artistic, cultural and educational quality of the community.
In 1998, David White challenged the Arts Council to create an art center out of the historic Kemp Library. White also put his money where his mouth was and committed $1 million to help with the renovation. The City of Wichita Falls jumped on the bandwagon by approving the project and leasing the building to the Arts Council for 50 years and provide water and lawn maintenance. With the financial support of several other organizations as well, the renovations were completed and the Kemp Center for the Arts opened in March, 2002.
Since its opening, the beautiful and historic Kemp Center has continued to gain momentum and has become one of the jewels and cornerstones of downtown Wichita Falls. The Kemp is modeled after the Sammons Center for the Arts in Dallas. The two buildings are both 19,200 square feet, and both have historic designations. The Sammons Center was built in 1910 as a pump station for the city of Dallas, and the Kemp was built as a public library in 1917. While the Sammons Center is home only to performing arts groups, the Arts Council expanded on the role of the Kemp to include all the arts disciplines in its planning.
