“Fields”
Oak & Steel
April 7th — April 30th, 2023
Artist Reception 5 – 7 pm

The series “Fields”, painted by Thomas Woodward LaFavre in 2020 – 23, uses documentation from a wild flower garden at golden hour to pay homage to the power of remembered spaces. Perspective plays an important role in the works, turning the picture plane into a receding space that welcomes the viewer inside.

Celebrating Women Artists Series 

Lexitas April First Friday- April 7, 2023

“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” – Gloria Steinem.

The Celebration of Women continues beyond just recognizing International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month.

This Friday we are featuring several talented local women artists’ works like this one by Catherine Kirkland — Dance Like No One’s Watching, in our gallery. Join us to view some of the most unique and beautiful artwork that can be purchased for your offi ce, home or gifted.

Celebrating Women First Friday Reception is open to the public and will include appetizers and drinks. Doors open at 5pm. 1608 Locust, KCMO. 

Studio Above is open again for the season! Come see work by the 5 artists: Nancy Clay, Noelle Stoffel, William Rose, Jackie Warren and David Uhlig.

Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art is pleased to present an ensemble of gallery artists and artists new to the gallery in SHARP-SIGHTED. The sixteen artists, that are featured, work in a variety of media, and with a range of concepts, but all share a keen sense of vision, creativity and purpose. They reveal art as an exploration of ideas and as a way to experience the world. For some, observation of the environment and nature is a source of inspiration. For others, the art process and the materials themselves, spark their creativity. Other influences are numerous, such as memory, emotion, geometry, pattern, spirituality, ornament, color and gesture. An indefinable mix of possibilities and passion propels these artists forward in their art practice day-by-day resulting in exceptional work in painting, collage, photography, ceramic and fiber. Each artwork is as unique as its’ maker.
