Other notable achievements include the McAdams Park (completed in 1969), the first pool in Wichita that allowed African Americans an opportunity to train in an Olympic regulation pool during segregation, and Olympic buildings for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia.

We had a lovely turnout for our collaborative one-night performance between ShiftSpace and Fisch Haus. In this exhibition, the viewer (you) was the artist. During the event, people brought images and had the opportunity to create an artwork that celebrated your loved one! Refreshments were served and a fun time was had by all!
