SFH Hosting Online Art Auction
Thursday, June 26th, 2014
For the first time, Symphony in the Flint Hills’ Prairie Art Exhibit and Silent Auction will be online and open to the public.
“High winds during our event caused us to seek an alternative that would be safer for the art,” said Executive Director Christy Davis. “We are thrilled to partner with KC Auction Company to take our auction online.”
Forty-six paintings by 31 artists were selected through a juried process earlier this year. The pieces must thematically or geographically reference the beauty of the Flint Hills.

SFH Restores Historic Prairie
Wednesday, January 8th, 2014
Although the 2013 Symphony in the Flint Hills at Fort Riley is now a memory for those who attended, one impact of the event lives on through a restored section of tallgrass prairie that sits atop Fort Riley’s historic Grant Ridge just south of Marshall Field and I-70.
Named in honor of General Ulysses S. Grant, Grant Ridge formed the southern boundary of the original 1853 Fort Riley Military Reservation. At that time, the ridge offered a quintessential view of the Flint Hills—one unobstructed by a single tree.
