New landmark in north Wichita Nomar International Market and plaza revitalize community

fter several years of planning, the finishing touches are being put on the Nomar International Marketplace, an outdoor plaza on the northwest corner of 21st and Broadway. The project was designed to spur economic development in the area, provide a place for community events and preserve the cultural traditions of the nearby neighborhoods. The architectural design also included several opportunities to incorporate public art. A weekend outdoor market was to have started this summer but the opening was pushed back because of delayed road construction which did not allow easy access for vendors or visitors. However, special events are being planned for the plaza this fall, according to Anita Mendoza, market manager for the Nomar Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit organization. Events scheduled at presstime include: National Night Out, Aug. 3; Mexican Independence celebration, Sept. 17-19; and Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Nov. 1-2. All three will include food and music, said Men-

doza, who joined Nomar CDC in 2006. She said the outdoor market, which will start in March or April, will feature a variety of products, including produce, jewelry, scarves, Middle Eastern bread, clothing, pottery, tile and Asian teas. The city and a federal economic development grant provided construction funds for the multi-use plaza and a 1,000-square-foot adjacent building, which includes a classroom, office space and public restrooms.

In addition to improved streets, the area is getting new lighting and sidewalks. The name Nomar comes from North Market, location of the historic Nomar Theater, which has been closed for several decades. Ceramic artist Conrad Snider and his summer intern, Kate Dibbern (below) from Bethany College, work on installing the finial pots that go on top of the plaza tower. Photos by Vada Snider

Traditionally, this part of Wichita was known as the North End by the Mexican families who were brought to this country in the early years of the 20th century to work on the railroad. In more recent decades, the area also has become home to Asian businesses. The market is intended to have an international flavor and showcase cultures around the world. LawKingdon’s architectural design of the international marketplace mirrored the nearby Nomar Theater and kept a similar theme, Mendoza said. The 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival Nomar Theater was built after the Panama-California Exposition popularized Spanish-influenced architecture in this country. Located at 2141 For more information about events, an application to be a vendor or to volunteer, visit the website at www.nomarcdc.com.

N. Market St., it was designed by Boller Brothers, noted Kansas City theater architects. A local group currently is working to restore the theater. “It’s interesting to look at architecture in this area,” said Conrad Snider, a ceramic artist from Newton who worked on the plaza project. “We tried to tie in some of the decorative work from the Nomar Theater façade.” Snider worked with artists Todd Whipple of Wichita and Ray Olais of Newton to come up with motifs that reflected the area but were not too specific to any one culture. One of the designs used – a square spiral – he refers to as “Mezzo American.” “We looked at the structure and how the community was going to be using it and what its purpose was,” said Snider, who created the ceramic tile murals inside archways on the south and west sides of the building as well as nine finial pots which sit atop a Spanish-

inspired tower. “They did a good job of designing it – it’s a landmark right off the bat.” Because the whole facility is an open-air market, there is a sun in the center of each of the tile murals, which measure 14 feet high by 8 feet wide. The tallest finial pot is nearly five feet tall. Whipple, who served as art coordinator for the project, also created four black wrought-iron medallions. “The thing I really like about public art is that it’s out there,” Snider said. “People don’t have to seek out a gallery or a museum to see art or be around it and interact with it, even if it’s passively. It improves life for everyone. I really enjoy these kinds of public art projects and seeing how people respond to it.” The response from the community thus far had been positive, he said. “People are getting excited and embracing it. We feel like it will do what it was intended to do.” – By Cynthia Mines

Wichita’s own red carpet 8th annual Tallgrass Film Festival slated for Oct. 22-24

ot only does Robert Redford – film star and the inaugural chair of the Sundance Film Festival – know about Wichita’s Tallgrass Film Festival, but he cited it in 2008 when speaking to Congress about the importance of funding for the arts. As word of the 8-year-old festival has spread, attendance has more than doubled since its inception, according to Mike Marlett, executive director of the Tallgrass Film Association. Nearly 10,000 people are expected to attend this year’s festival Oct. 22-24. “Our film submissions have grown considerably, too,” Marlett said. “We had more than 400 submissions in six months this year.” A screening committee composed of a broad range of Wichitans recommends films to be shown and then they are forwarded to the programming committee, which takes into account local interests when making the final film selections, according to Lela Meadow-Conner, festival director since 2006. “For example, it’s become very clear over the past seven years that Wichitans really like documentaries, as evidenced by the number

What to eat, see & do in Wichita

of docs that have won the Audience Award – ‘Sweet Crude,’ ‘The Wrecking Crew’ and ‘Girls Rock!’ in the last three years,” MeadowConner said. “They also greatly enjoy international documentaries, so we do our best to make sure that we allow Tallgrass to continue to serve as a venue for these films that may not otherwise come to Wichita.” This year a number of films are about music so a special “Grasscendo” package was created that includes admission to all those films, Marlett said. In keeping with that theme, this year’s Ad Astra recipient is Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated film composer Rolfe Kent, who has scored more than 40 films, including “Charlie St. Cloud,” “Up In The Air,” “Men Who Stare At Goats,” “Legally Blonde” and “Sideways.” He was also nominated for an Emmy for theme music for the original Showtime series “Dexter.” The Ad Astra award will be presented on Saturday, Oct. 23. “We’re really excited to have Rolfe come to Tallgrass this year,” Marlett said. “He is a really up-and-coming industry professional and extremely open to chatting film and music fans.”

The three-day festival features screenings of approximately 70 shorts and features at five venues in downtown Wichita as well as opening and closing galas, parties and special events. Individual movie prices are $9, except during the day on Friday when they are $5 (some are free to area high school students and teachers). Tickets can also be purchased to opening and closing galas, or festival packages, including day passes, are available. A VIP pass for $150 includes admission to all movies, receptions, special events, parties and presentations. For details and a schedule, visit http:// tallgrassfilmfest.com.

Wichita

Cowtown is an accredited living-history museum where visitors experience what life was like in an evolving cattle town of the 1870s. Take a wagon ride, stop by the Saloon and drink a sarsaparilla, watch a gunfight in the street, hear the ring of the blacksmith anvil, dress up and take old-time photos and visit the humble home of the town’s founder, Darius Munger. Be sure to stop at the home of Marshall Murdock, who single-handedly promoted the town through his newspaper. The 23-acre site just west of modern-day downtown is home to 70 historic and recreated buildings, including a marshal’s office, Wichita’s first jail, a saloon, general store, one-room schoolhouse, church, livery stable, train depot and more.
