The Kansas City Woodworkers’ Guild and the Kansas City Woodturners Association host a First Friday exhibition and sale on June 7. The exhibition is 5 to 9 pm on First Fridays, at the Guild shop, 1717 Washington St, and offers handcrafted, locally made fine woodworking, furniture, home decor, woodturning, and so much more.

Stop by during First Friday for a tour, free raffle, and a free personalized gift.

Do you want to work wood and have no place to do it? And, tools are expensive! They are loud and dusty. That’s where we come in.

The Kansas City Woodworkers’ Guild provides everything a woodworker needs whether you are just starting out or are a master of the woodworking craft.

Your membership provides you with the shop, tools, education, and camaraderie needed to increase your skill and passion for woodworking.

Our Shop covers 12,000 square feet and offers a safe, productive woodworking environment. Stop by on First Friday or during any Open Shop for a tour.

First Friday at KC’s First Digital Art Gallery located at 2018 Main Street.

Featuring the opening exhibition for June, Digital Nostalgia.

8 collage artists will be on display.

Digital Nostalgia asks artists to look at our memories and the way memories are increasingly stored in digital means and how that affects the fluidity of memories and causing them to become pixelated.

Meet artists that make comics and more! Kansas City is full of incredible artistic talent, and so much of it is in the comic creator world. Some of the best KC has to offer are getting together at Crossroads Comics and Art to show you what that’s all about. 

Our June First Friday guests will be: Buster Moody, Baldemar Rivas and Jim Mahfood (Food One). All of them are working on current and/or upcoming titles and have a lot of previous work, as well. 

You may have met them at Planet Comicon or other shows, or maybe you missed them because you can’t get to EVERYTHING, so here’s your chance. 

They will be hanging out in the animation gallery so you can come and say Hey!, have something signed, buy some of their art and/or comics, and hang out for a bit! These are people working hard to make art happen for all of us to enjoy and they’re all super freaking cool. 

We will be posting more details about the individual artists soon, so be sure to check back for more info, or in the meantime, you can look them up!

Outside of a con, you don’t normally get so many artists all at once, so we’re really excited to offer this unique opportunity. 

We will also have some great sales and specials in-store for comics, animation art and jewelry, including bringing back the “blind box pick”- there are still some GEMS in there. We look forward to seeing everyone. 

About us:

We at Crossroads Comics and Art are so excited to be a part of the Crossroads Arts District and the Crossroads Community Association (KCCrossroads.org).

In addition to our retail store and animation gallery (check out our socials and sites for all the details!), we are artists, too. We are all about supporting art in many forms and also focusing on local/ regional artists and the artists we personally know and love. We are so fortunate to live that dream and to share it with all of you.
