Gallery One-Nine is located in the newly refurbished Wichita Executive Centre on the 18th and 19th floors. We are centrally located in the Downtown Business District. There is a crosswalk directly in front of the facility, which allows for bus drop-offs in a safe and organized manner. During the months of July and August, we have developed some wonderful activities specifically designed for the senior community. They include an indoor farmers market where our senior guests can experience the fun once again of buying "farm fresh" fruits and vegetables, Big Band Dances and Concerts featuring the music of !Impulse!, a Wine Tasting, and other cultural offerings, along with Casino and Bingo Parties.

Victory Gardens: As part of the war effort, the government rationed foods like sugar, butter, milk, cheese, eggs, coffee, meat and canned goods. Labor and transportation shortages made it hard to harvest and move fruits and vegetables to market. So, the government turned to its citizens and encouraged them to plant "Victory Gardens." They wanted individuals to provide their own fruits and vegetables.
Farm families, of course, had been planting gardens and preserving produce for generations. Now, their urban cousins got into the act. All in the name of patriotism.
