Upcoming First Friday Art Walk Exhibits


The First Friday Art Walk is our 'Opening Reception' for each new monthly exhibit at NexLynx Gallery of Arts. The First Friday Art Walk, a program of Topeka ArtsConnect, exhibits local artists’ work at various art galleries, restaurants, corporate offices, and retail stores.

A regular stop in the heart of downtown Topeka since 2010, NexLynx Gallery of Arts is the “must see” gallery on the First Friday Art Walk, located on the corner of 6th & Jackson. Celebrating our 75th consecutive First Friday Art Walk in 2017, we are dedicated to showcase emerging and established artists in our respected gallery every First Friday Art Walk.

    Vaughn comes from a family of wood masters and has made a variety of home furnishings. His pursuit of top-notch wood products has led to astounding pieces of wood art in the solid and segmented bowls that he turns on his lathe. Using primarily watercolors, Susie loves to create and paint all the things around her, making the world her playground. She grew up on a farm so the love of the country is expressed in her work.
