An iconic piece of Wichita history, the Keeper of the Plains, is now part of our ever-growing art gallery. It’s the 66th hand-painted replica created as part of the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce on Parade project. It’s also the 2nd Keeper to come from the creative mind of local artist and Wichita native, Elisabeth Owens. Owens said she was inspired by the diversity of our city, both now and historically speaking. We were proud to host the artist, the Wichita Chamber, and several special guests to its unveiling yesterday afternoon.
You're looking at the newest Keepers on Parade statue, unveiled at Emprise Bank in downtown Wichita yesterday. The Keeper is the 66th in Wichita and the second painted by local artist Elisabeth Owens.
