I am happy to announce after two months of participating in the incredible Artist INC Advance program…

Doors open at 6PM
AIA Kansas City

Come cast YOUR vote for your favorite project!
We invite you to a very special evening with the 2015 Artist INC Advance class – 14 of some of Kansas City’s most talented and driven visual and performing artists who have spent the past 9 weeks developing art projects they are now ready to share with the community.
On Wednesday, December 9, they will present their final projects and we will ask you to VOTE for the project you consider the most deserving of a $1,000 grant.
This special event will include delicious food and drink provided by Howard’s Grocery, Cafe, and Catering and the opportunity to spend time with each of the artists and learn even more about their projects.
From a Cuban music exchange to a pop-up art space in a vintage 1960 Airstream trailer, the Artist INC Advance projects span disciplines and reflect the diversity of vision and ambition in the local creative community.
The artists presenting include Debbie Barret Jones, Laura Isaac, Lisa Marie Evans, Annie Cherry Montgomery, Andi Meyer, Camry Ivory, Anson the Ornery, Michael McClintock, Kasey Rausch, Trilla Ray-Carter, Cydney Ross, Emily Evans Sloan, Casey Whittier, and the Minister of Information aka M.O.I.
Artist Facilitators for Artist INC Advance include Beau Bledsoe, Chris Dahlquist, Jose Faus, Erin McGrane and David Wayne Reed.
Support for Artist INC Advance is provided by the UMKC Innovation Center, Hallmark, the Muriel McBrien Kauffman Foundation, the Francis Family Foundation and the Richard J. Stern Foundation for the Arts
More or Le$$ was a great fit for the Corinth Neighborhood Library! Lots of people attended and enjoyed the experience! It was a day filled with great conversation, donuts and a lovely choice from Howard’s Organic Fare and Vegetable Patch!
(Though I am not convinced that the patrons of this branch were as excited by the interactive part of More or Le$$ as they were about getting a donut.) And the fact that it was a special donut, made by Farm to Market for the purpose of this event didn’t seem to matter to most!
