Gallery offers small pieces by big artists in Garnett
The Garnett Public Library hosts a small collection of early 20th century American paintings sculptures prints and drawings by well known names. The Mary Bridget McAuliffe Walker Art Collection, curated with help from Robert Logan and maintained by Robert Cugno, originated from Maynard Walker a New York art dealer and Garnett native who loaned and donated works. The gallery, founded in 1951 and named for Walker's mother, remains a community staple in Garnett.
