We installed electric HVAC units in the library and sewing studio and purchased a wood burning Central Boiler furnace to heat the gym and hallway using free local fuel. Installation of the furnace is underway. We have already expanded our library hours this winter and are excited to spread the warmth to the rest of the building (and to all our visitors). Projects on the horizon include new storm windows to secure the building’s envelope and protect the original paned windows, lighting improvements and furnishings for the library, ceiling fans and new lights for the gymnasium, and support for additional programming. A big thank you to all of our Rural Scholars last year. We couldn't do this work without you. https://www.schoolforruralculture.org/news/2024-gift-print-on-view-at-the-marianna-kistler-beach-museum-of-art-at-kansas-state-university monthly 0.5 2025-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604f71a296058e333c0f04a3/7482d40f-f9dc-4937-9967-8cf6f879360a/IMG-6017.jpg News - 2024 Gift Print on view at The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University. - The 2024 Rural Scholar gift print, a collaboration of Ian Huebert and Matthew Regier, is currently on view at The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University as part of its "Rural America" exhibition. Included in the exhibition are historic works by Thomas Hart Benton and John Stuart Curry as well as contemporary photography by former Tallgrass Artist in Residence, Jeremiah Ariaz. The artworks in this exhibition, which runs through September 2026, “highlight the challenges rural communities have faced and the unique qualities that have sustained them. The works offer a lens through which to consider the struggles and assets of today’s rural communities. Through prints, drawings, and paintings, artists explore themes such as the decline of small farms, school consolidation, grocery store closures, and the fading of local journalism. These are balanced by depictions of rural vitality such as tourism, community events, local cooperatives, faith institutions, and efforts in historic preservation.” https://www.schoolforruralculture.org/news/support-the-school-in-2025-by-becoming-a-rural-scholar-and-getting-a-free-print monthly 0.5 2024-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604f71a296058e333c0f04a3/d37ab909-90ff-4296-93ba-ff4b537bf256/updraft+print+paper.jpg News - Support The School in 2025 by becoming a “Rural Scholar” (and get a free print) Make a gift of $200 or more and we’ll send you this limited edition print. Our Rural Scholar campaign has been the center of our economic support since we first launched it in 2023. In 2024 we were able to install new custom bookshelves in the library, make repairs to our roof, and install a new gallery hanging system in the hallway and twenty acoustical panels in the gymnasium. Your gift in 2025 will go directly towards HVAC installation in our building. This has been a major goal since 2020. As of today, we have only classroom with heating and cooling. However, we are now very close to having the support we need to install electric HVAC in the remaining thee classrooms, an exterior wood-burning furnace in the gymnasium, and new storm windows to maintain the building’s envelope. These long-awaited improvements will allow us to expand our programming into the more inclement parts of the year and preserve our building for the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604f71a296058e333c0f04a3/11d0adc1-059b-4122-a09c-58dc12035482/School+fall.jpg News - Support The School in 2025 by becoming a “Rural Scholar” (and get a free print) - Make Your Gift Today “Updraft” is a limited edition linocut print by Matthew Regier, created and produced in the printmaking studio right here at The School.

Flint Hills Wonder: Photographs by Amy M. Jones Amy M. Jones is a photographer and metal sculptor living in Matfield Green, Kansas. Jones received her first camera as a Christmas gift in 1984 and has rarely been without a camera in her passenger seat since. Capturing the world around her has become a vocation, freezing moments in time and helping the viewer appreciate the beauty in everyday life. Jones’ love of the Flint Hills led her to relocate to Matfield Green where she can immerse herself in the vastness of the open prairie where earth and sky intertwine. Her work evokes both the familiar and surprising experience of traversing the rocky backroads (without the fear of a flat tire) where the uncanny stillness of the “empty” prairie may be just as rewarding as the chance encounter with a nesting prairie chicken or a solitary barred owl. Jones’s photography can be found on instagram @pheonixartbyamy https://www.schoolforruralculture.org/events/ben-cosgrove-in-concert-s2tk6 monthly 0.5 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604f71a296058e333c0f04a3/f0bef74e-b48b-458c-a9f8-b405a5c324f4/Ben+Cosgrove_High+Res_IMG_9919.jpg Events -
