Student Organizations

Below are just a select few of the many clubs and organizations at Kansas State University, to see the complete list visit K-State's OrgCentral. There is something for Everyone!

AIGA Student Organization

Our local AIGA student group is very active, often traveling to national conferences or events, arranging studio tours, bringing in influential contemporary designers, and informing majors of networking, event, internship and job opportunities. The AIGA is the largest professional organization of designers in the United States, and provides a broad range of information, experiences and networking opportunities for both up-and-coming and established designers.

Painting Society

The Painting Society is a group of student painters, mixed media artists, and drawers who come together to create unity and networks between artists, create and exhibit works, and just have fun. Activities include participating in painting, drawing, and mixed media workshops, en plein air painting at the Konza, and movie nights. We also take field trips to the First Fridays in Kansas City and museums in the region. Majors and non-majors are encouraged along with Art Education. All studio and design disciplines are welcome. Students shape the club and activities.

Photography Club (KSU Foto Club)

The KSU foto Club acts as a forum for students to engage in photography outside the classroom. It aims furthermore to increase awareness of photography beyond populist or commercial applications for students on campus. Activities include but are not limited to group discussions, travel to Museums or conferences, hosting events, and fundraising. The primary membership consists of existing photo students. Outside students are welcome, but the club does not "teach" photography. The Art Department has a number of courses that are fun and a great way to learn the basics. To learn more, email our faculty coordinator, Rebecca Hackeman-Bahlmann, at rebecca212@ksu.edu.

Prairie Fire Printmakers

Prairie Fire Printmakers, originally established in 2008 as Pussycat Press, is a student run club of printmakers located in the Fine Arts Department of Willard Hall at Kansas State University. The club aims to create an awareness of printmaking on the campus, promote learning and skill building in the printed arts as well as fundraisers to fund group trips to the annual Southern Graphics Conference held in the spring.
