Robert W. Regier Art Gallery
The Robert W. Regier Gallery (located in the Luyken Fine Arts Center) on campus features rotating exhibitions in all media from regional and national artists. Each spring two exhibits are dedicated to showcasing Bethel’s art students.
Hesston-Bethel Performing Arts series — now Sunflower Performing Arts
The Hesston-Bethel Performing Arts (HBPA) series has transitioned to Sunflower Performing Arts, a program of Hesston (Kan.) College.
Lectures
Bethel hosts a number of free lectures throughout the year. These series have brought to campus distinguished authors, professors, performers, theologians and artists.
Music and theater
Jazz ensembles, vocal performances, operas, dramas and musicals are just some of Bethel’s fine arts events. Better yet, a number of these events are free and open to the public, such as the professional-grade recitals offered by students and faculty in the music department.
