April 30, 2022 – Northeast Open Studios Tour

On Saturday, April 30 from 10-6 the first Northeast Open Studios Tour will take place! My studio will be one of the stops on the tour, so make plans to stop in to see what’s new! The tour is a great way to informally see some art in the environs it’s actually made in. Talk with artists and check out their work spaces! For more information, you can check out the Northeast KC Arts page. This will be my first showing oof new art since November of 2019! You can look at my other past art shows and events here.
