Brightening the Neighborhood

A new mural behind the InterUrban Arthouse in Overland Park is the product of 50 Lowe's employees and area high school students under the direction of Nicole Emanuel, founder. She applied for a Hometown grant from Lowe's and the long mural is a result. Even Chiefs' Travis Kelce painted a part.

 

Preserving Wedding Dresses

Artist Amanda Moore paints portraits of wedding dresses to help you preserve the memories of your dress without having to take it out of the special preservation packing. I met her at her studio at the Interurban Arthouse in Overland Park on Third Friday. Fascinating.

Third Friday Vibes

Third Fridays in downtown Overland Park never disappoint. We listened to JJ Johnson and The Old School Players at Vinyl Renaissance, East Indian dancers Hemavathi Sharma and Suryanarayana Murthy at the Interurban Arthouse (as well as art), small musical ensembles on the street and many canine friends (it was also Dog's Night Out).
