CARRIAGE FACTORY NEWTON, KANSAS

Women Ar�sts of the West (WAOW) is thrilled to exhibit at the Carriage House Factory Art Gallery, 128 E. 6th Street in Newton, Kansas. This gallery, known as the ‘hidden gem’ of south-central Kansas by TravelKs, is housed in a two story National Historic Building, circa 1883, a former carriage factory/blacksmith shop that was rescued by the Newton Fine Arts Association in 1983. Restoration began in 1993. Mary Lee McDonald, director and curator, brings her 20 years of West Coast gallery experience and love of the arts to Central Kansas where she grew up. Searching for simpler lifestyle she and her family settled in the Newton area where they are raising two sons. Carriage Factory Art Gallery is quickly gaining a reputation as a fine art gallery throughout Kansas and surrounding states due to Mary’s energy and passion for the arts and promoting artists.
