Cerbera Gallery Presents: "August Art Salon"Cerbera Gallery Presents: "August Art Salon"
Get more info about this event »
Description: Hello KSHB KC team, Below please find our latest press release. Please call or e-mail us with questions or comments. -------------------------------------- Cerbera Gallery Presents: “August Art Salon” "Daniel Brennan" (Gallery Front) For our "August Art Salon," Cerbera Gallery will feature rare Daniel Brennan paintings from the Susan Lawrence Collection. Brennan's paintings are known for having an almost child-like quality to them - characterized by bright vivid colors paired with a whimsical figurative representation of everyday life. Though Brennan had several exhibitions of paintings at the Lawrence Gallery in Kansas City, his work was also exhibited at the Jewish Community Center and in Texas, California, New York and Mexico. Many of Brennan's paintings featured in our exhibition are dated from the 1960s, making them complete-time capsules of the stylistic trends during this period. "Moving Pathways (Preview)" by Kory Twaddle (Gallery Back) For the second half of our "August Art Salon", Cerbera Gallery will be exhibiting a preview of "Moving Pathways" by local Kansas City artist, Kory Twaddle. Twaddle explores her own lived experiences. She uses her body’s interactions with space as subject matter for her bio-grammatic work. Furthermore, she seeks to give physical presence to her own ethereal encounters with the external world via lived diagrams. Twaddle's biograms are records of the lived moment, specific periods of time and particular spaces. Twaddle received a BFA in Painting with a Minor in Art History from the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma in 2001. She went on to receive her MFA in Interdisciplinary Studio Art and Theory from Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine in 2006. Twaddle is currently a Research Assistant at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. Cerbera Gallery will debut "Moving Pathways" in full as a solo show early 2020. -------------------------------------- Opening Reception: Friday, August 2, 5-9pm Exhibition Date: August 2-August 30, 2019 Location: Cerbera Gallery 2011 Baltimore Ave, Kansas City, MO 64108 Phone: +1-844-202-9303 E-Mail: info@cerberagallery.com Event URL: https://tinyurl.com/y5p5p6my With best regards, Cerbera Gallery Team Submitted by: Kennedy Burgess Cerbera Gallery

Squirrel JamSquirrel Jam
Get more info about this event »
Description: The bandstand in Marysville’s City Park will be home to Squirrel Jam, Sunday, August 18, from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. Musicians are invited to share their musical talents at the jam. Solo performers, duets, quartets, and full bands are all invited to perform; musicians may come with prepared songs or may jam with other artists to create new music on the spot. Even though the event is scheduled for four hours, musicians may come for any part of the jam session. The event is sponsored by the Marshall County Arts Cooperative. The arts cooperative sponsored the first Squirrel Jam in conjunction with the activities leading to the total solar eclipse in 2017. The event brought musicians together to share their talents and to entertain the crowd. “This year’s event will be similar,” said Rachel Massoth, a board member for the arts cooperative. "We have so many musicians in this area, it will be great to bring everyone together to create music." Musicians will check in with the coordinators and place their names on the performance list. Depending on the number of musicians attending, each performer can expect to play for about fifteen minutes. Musicians will be able to play alone or jam with others. Not only is the event for musicians, it is also for those who want to hear live music. Those attending Squirrel Jam are allowed to bring coolers of beverages (non-alcoholic and beer) to the event. People should bring their picnic blankets or lawn chairs so they can enjoy great music. "This is informal,” Massoth said. “We hope this brings musicians together to create music and even experience new styles of music." The event hopes to attract families who will spend the afternoon in the park. The art department from Valley Heights High School will be at the jam to do face painting. In conjunction with the event, the Evangelical United Church of Christ will have an ice cream social at the church from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. The church is located north of the park at 205 South 10th Street. In case of inclement weather the jam will be moved to the Lee Dam Center for Fine Art, 201 South 9th Street. For information about Squirrel Jam, people can contact Wayne Kruse, president of the arts cooperative, at 785-713-9866 or visit the arts cooperative’s website marshallcountyarts.org.

Get more info about this event »
Description: Our three-concert summer series celebrates women in all aspects of musical creation, performance, and experience by delving into how women were influential as patrons, how women historically seized the spotlight as performers (both as singers and instrumentalists), and how women made strides in the still-male dominated world of music composition. Our final concert of the summer series in 2019 will focus on female composition; there are a number of women composers from the early modern era, but perhaps the most well-known today is Barbara Strozzi, who was born in August 1619 and whose 400th birthday we will celebrate in August 2019. We will also perform music by other female composers of the Baroque period such as Francesca Caccini, Elisabeth Claude Jacquet de la Guerre, and others. In celebration of these historical female composers, we will also premiere a commissioned contemporary work for Baroque ensemble composed by Ingrid Stölzel, Assistant Professor of Composition at the University of Kansas. Her work will be paired with Strozzi’s cantata “Che si può fare”; this pairing, between a work written in the seventeenth century and one written in 2019 will highlight the presence of women in music composition over the past four hundred years. Join us for a pre-concert talk given by Dr. Alison DeSimone (UMKC Conservatory) at 6:30 pm! Submitted by: Alison Clark DeSimone Kansas City Baroque Consortium
