We’re hosting an opening this Friday for 40 artists from Paseo Academy and Pembroke Academy.  The KC Star was kind enough to do a story on the gig, which you’ll find Here.  Above, one of my favorite kids receiving instruction from the painter Zac Barnes.  This was during our Sept field trip to the Flint Hills.

Expect to see a couple of hundred people on Fri.  Am sure the energy will be high.  Few things better than trying to make a difference in a young life.  About 15 adults collaborated on bringing this together, including teachers from both schools.  I already can sense that it will be a great success.
