Arts and Culture

Connecting communities

Kansas State University's cultural assets create meaningful relationships by bridging connections between various communities. The Kansas State University Gardens, Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art and McCain Auditorium, as a part of the External Engagement team, work daily to elevate cultural learning experiences and interactions on campus and throughout our community. Working together, these units aim to sustain and nourish K-State's culture.
