(April 5, 2011) Perhaps you have heard about Final Friday, Wichita’s art gallery crawl. As its name suggests, it takes place on the last Friday of every month. This event allows local artists the opportunity to display their artwork at a variety of locations around Old Town including, Exploration Place, City Arts and various other galleries in the Wichita downtown area. One popular venue to visit during Final Friday is the Fisch Haus Studios. Fisch Haus (pronounced Fish House) is a multi-disciplinary art facility, located in Wichita’s Commerce St. Art District, currently accommodating five full-time local artists as well as a steady stream of artists and musicians, both regional and international. In 1990 three KMC alumni, Patrick Duegaw ’84, John Ernatt ‘85, Eric Schmidt ‘84, and their friend, Kent Williams, founded The Artist Cooperative. Since 1993, it has operated out of a three story warehouse that contains studio and gallery space, small businesses, a full wood and metal shop and a graphic design studio. The Fisch Haus produces several large-scale shows annually, and hosts numerous community art events, ranging from visiting artist exhibitions and performances, to lectures, classes, benefits, readings, and music festivals throughout the rest of the year; most all of which are offered free of charge and are open to all ages. All four men are well-known in Wichita for their artistic endeavors. Duegaw is a full-time artist and the only one of the four who still lives in the Fisch Haus, at 524 S. Commerce, although he spends about a third of each year working at his studio in Montreal. He is married to Elizabeth Stevenson, equally well-known in the Wichita artistic community, in part for co-founding the River City Biennale, 6 which strives to broaden appreciation of Wichita’s contemporary art scene. Ernatt is also a full-time artist who owns Diver Studio, at 424 S. Commerce, with his wife, Connie, an artist whose recent work includes the bronze memorial to fallen law enforcement officers at City Hall. Their studio was the first site of Fisch Haus, which later moved a block south down Commerce. Schmidt and Williams still have studios at Fisch Haus. Williams is well-known for public art around Wichita and for urban and architectural design as well as his own art. Schmidt has designed a sound hole for guitar that is sold in music shops, and is also exploring wind energy and aerodynamic enhancements for vehicles. His wife, Jamie Tabor, created the Chicken Poop brand of lip balm and runs her business out of the Fisch Haus.
