The Spencer Museum of Art opened an exhibit based on the rematriation of Iⁿ‘zhúje‘waxóbe, the Sacred Red Rock, to Allegawaho Park near Council Grove, Kansas. The exhibit features work by Native and non-Native artists primarily produced in community workshops in Lawrence, Kansas, that explored the historical and cultural significance of the the rock to Kaw Nation and the rematriation process. In 1929 it was removed from it’s original location at the confluence of the Kansas River and the Shunganunga River near Topeka, and turned into a monument commemorating the founders of Lawrence.
Grossman created three works, an oil and two watercolors, of Iⁿ‘zhúje‘waxóbe during a Sacred Red Rock workshop on July 23, 2023, in Robinson Park, a day before the area was fenced off in preparation for the rock’s removal. Two of those works were on display in the exhibit.

Symphony in the Flint Hills celebrated its 20th anniversary and hosted its Grande Finale “Prairie Sunset” Event on June 14, 2025, in Chase County, Kansas. Lisa contributed artwork to their benefit art auction every year and “Across the Prairie Watershed” was my entry for 2024. The painting was an oil on canvas, 24 x 30 inches, painted earlier in the year. It received “BEST IN SHOW” by juror, Diana Werts.

The Symphony in the Flint Hills mission has always been to “heighten appreciation and knowledge of the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie.” The annual Field Journal has always been integral to the event and celebrates the Flint Hills ecoregion and culture through art, science, history, and essays. Lisa’s work was often included in the publication.

Online bidding for the art auction and the in-person exhibit ran from Saturday, April 26, through Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
