Hutchinson/Reno County Arts & Humanities Council (HRAH) and Hutchinson Community Foundation are pleased to invite community members and organizational stakeholders to a special, collaborative evening from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 6, at the Hutchinson Public Library Auditorium to Re-envision the Arts & Humanities in Reno County for the Next Five Years.

HRAH is a nonprofit organization devoted to bringing a variety of artistic avenues to the Hutchinson area and surrounding communities. From artists, to musicians, to theatrical outlets, the Council supports and motivates all efforts to keep the arts alive. With the retirement of its longtime director, HRAH is in a period of transition and is looking to community stakeholders to develop a shared vision for Reno County arts and humanities that will guide their work for the next five years. All interested organizations, groups, and community members are welcome to participate in creating this shared vision.

The session will be facilitated by Kathleen A. Zurcher of Prior Lake, Minnesota. Kathy works with communities around the country on applying systems thinking to transform systems and create the future they truly want for children and families. She is the former Director of Program and Organizational learning for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. From rural Iowa, California, Montana, and Kentucky to urban neighborhoods in Detroit, Brooklyn, and Oakland, she has facilitated communities as they sought to improve their local food system, create communities that support healthy eating and active living, develop a more sustainable local economy, improve education, develop community systems that support educational and life success for all children, and assure health equity. What all of these have in common is their use of community engagement and a systems-thinking approach to creating their future.
