We are so proud of our history as the original WF Public Library and our home today as a part of the Arts Council WF organization. Can’t wait to see all of the other recognizable Wichita Falls area landmarks when Miniature Wonders opens to the public soon!

🎨✨ WONDER WEDNESDAY: A WICHITA FALLS TREASURE ✨🎨

Some landmarks are known around the world. Others are special because they’re part of home. 💙

The Kemp Center for the Arts/ has been part of Wichita Falls for generations, and we’re excited to celebrate this beautiful piece of our community as part of Miniature Wonders!

💍 Did you have your wedding at the Kemp?
🎨 Have you attended a gallery opening in the NorthLight?
🌿 Or spent an afternoon strolling through the Sculpture Garden?

We know so many people in Wichita Falls have a memory connected to the Kemp, and we’d love to hear yours! Share it with us in the comments. 👇

From its historic architecture to the creativity, celebrations, and community it represents today, the Kemp is exactly the kind of place we want visitors to discover as they explore Wichita Falls — in miniature.

Because before we take you around the world, we want to show you what makes our hometown worth exploring, too. 💙

We get it: life isn’t getting any less stressful for most of us. And everyone deserves a little break in their life. Our next class is designed for rest and relaxation. You’ll learn about repetitive design, interlocking geometric shapes, and color in a low-stress, low-pressure environment. Leave class with the knowledge to continue exploring this thoughtful and meditative design process.
