Alcott Arts Center, 180 S. 18th, will present a second Saturday art exhibit and reception at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, May 14.
Zachary Hill will present acrylic paintings, “DC Comic’s Heroes and Villains,” said Chris Green, executive director of the Alcott Center.
Hill is a junior at the University of Kansas, where he is studying illustration and graphic design.
He painted superheroes and villains, then took some of his paintings and made them face cards in a deck of cards, Green said.
His show at the Alcott runs until June 3.
A similar theme will be at the “Comic Book and Sports Art Exhibit” June 11 at the Alcott Arts Center, she said.
Artists Darryl Woods and Anthony Oropeza will present their artworks then. They have both done some sports and comic book art.
Woods is a 1975 Wyandotte High School graduate. Oropeza, an Argentine area resident, with Strong Avenue Studios, has created a Latino superhero, Amigoman.
Oropeza is now getting a comic book published, Green said. He enjoys talking to students in area schools about art and Amigoman.
Woods and Oropeza are expected to be at ComicCon next weekend at Bartle Hall, she added.
Also this weekend, the Alcott is having auditions for the Shakespeare play, “Twelfth Night,” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, she said. There will be cold reading from the script.
