Sabatini Gallery, Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, Topeka
• Current Exhibits 2013; Spencer Museum of Art, Lawrence
• Good Boy, Bad Boy: The Prints of John Boyd, 2013 Friends of the Beach Museum of Art Gift Print Artist: This survey exhibition of John Boyd's printmaking and papermaking captures the humor and occasional darkness in his art. Boyd's work is both personal—pets and family members often appear as characters—and reflective of larger themes in film, music, and literature. The struggle between good and evil is especially significant refrain in the artist's work, which demonstrates an impressive versatility and technical complexity. Boyd was an instructor in lithography at Wichita State University from 1972 to 2008; March 8 - May 26, 2013 The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University, Manhattan
• Abstract Landscapes,until April 27, 2013, Strecker-Nelson Gallery, 406˝ Poyntz, Manhattan
