A non-profit theatre and dance school, its mission is to provide arts opportunities to young people of all ages and backgrounds in Wichita and the surrounding area. Now with satellite schools at Marks Arts in east Wichita and in downtown El Dorado, the Wichita Children’s Theatre & Dance Center is proud to enhance the cultural life of south-central Kansas by providing the highest quality performing arts education to its youth.

Garten’s Music is a family-owned retail store that opened in 1969, now featuring keyboard instruments, guitars, ukuleles, music books and more! Band instruments are also available for rental or purchase. In addition, the Wichita Music Academy offers lessons for children and adults in piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, voice, violin, viola, cello, brass, woodwinds, and drums and percussion. All of our instructors must pass four background checks, and all of them have university training and/or professional performance experience. We believe that learning to make music should be fun and that students should learn the music they want to play! Our students earn trophies, wristbands and certificates for achieving musical milestones.
Riverside Music Together is a center in Wichita, Kansas that offers family music classes. We are an accredited provider of Music Together®—an internationally recognized music education program for children from birth through age 5 and the grownups who love them!
When your family joins our community, you and your child will be immersed in a world of participatory music-making, where the combination of singing, movement, and instrumental play is facilitated by a certified music teacher trained in early childhood music education and licensed to teach the Music Together curriculum. The songs and other high-quality music materials we use, crafted through 25 years of research into how children’s music awareness develops, are included in the cost for families to take home.
At Riverside Music Together, you’ll nurture your child’s music potential in the important early years while supporting their overall development, and you’ll have fun together doing something we all enjoy—making music!

I am a Kansas-based artist, working as an abstract painter. My abstract works are multi-medium based with a wide ranged pallet, from bright colors to earthy tones. My work focuses on building up layer by layer while obtaining fluidity throughout the piece. Running my own business doing what I love has been amazing. I began full time this year, due to the pandemic I run my business mostly through my instagram. Please check it out, @marymccoymakes!
At Pink peplum, we love to find those unique trendy boho styles and offer them to you at a great affordable price. We bring you fun, fashionable, unique, trendy, flattering clothing with a modern vintage feel that is timeless.
The whole reason to start this boutique was we wanted to fill a void in the women’s market. Sometimes just having that one fantastic new outfit is all a woman needs to turn a bad day into a good one, to give a woman the confidence she needs going into an interview or to give that stay at home mom a reason to smile after that rare moment she treats herself. Our goal is to make sure you have those great pieces that you won’t see on everyone else. Since we are a boutique, we sell many one of a kind items and our stock is limited. We try to do our best to restock those hot ticket items that sell out in a matter of hours.
Customer service is very important to us and we are happy to suit your needs. We try to stay on top of emails, calls and website inquiries. We aim to please! We appreciate your suggestions and we are constantly growing and evolving.
