Every week, dozens of people gather in Wichita to hang out and make art. Don Praseuth started Wichita Sketch Club more than a decade ago when he was looking to connect with other local artists. In the intervening years, its regulars have learned from one another, exhibited together, and formed lasting friendships. For the latest in his video series, Julian Azcary Montes spoke to Praseuth and other WSC artists who say the group is a welcoming place to create and be in community with others.

The group is back to meeting at Milkfloat, a coffee shop and bakery in the Delano neighborhood. You’ll find a horde of artists there from 6-9 p.m. on Mondays. 

Stay in the loop by following Wichita Sketch Club on Instagram and by joining their Discord channel. 

This video is the second in a series that highlights reoccurring events in the Wichita area and beyond. If you've never tried Wichita Sketch Club, Salsa Night, an art auction, or any number of interesting events, keep up with The SHOUT to see what you've been missing. We'd love to see you there.
