Play: Culture
The first settlers in Great Bend had their hands full with simply meeting the day-to-day demands of prairie life. Soon, though, Great Benders would begin to nurture a cultural climate to enrich their lives.
Great Bend remains a cultural center for this region, and a visitor does not have to wander far to experience these riches. Murals decorate the walls of many buildings in the downtown area. Painted by high school students, community volunteers, senior citizens, professional artists and children, the murals are tied together by themes relating to Great Bend, past and present. Visit the Shafter Art Gallery and the Barton County Arts Center to enjoy the visual arts, or enjoy a theatrical presentation at the restored Crest Theatre (now known as the Great Bend Community Theatre).
