R. Gregory Summers | Kansas City Historical Series, “Take Me from the River”

Beggars Table Church & Gallery

R. Gregory Summers | Kansas City Historical Series, “Take Me from the River” May 2 + June 6, 2025 | 6–9pm Using black and white photos of historic Kansas City as his inspiration, Summers combined his artistic talent with his love of local history to create an all-new series of original paintings featuring Kansas City as it once was. “Take Me from the River” shows the Town of Kansas as it grew from a mere trading post to what it is today. Over time, the town gradually shed its somewhat checkered past, the saloons, brothels, and gambling of the river district, up Quality Hill to the high-end shopping, and finance, then on to the Pendergast years, and beyond. Greg was born in the Flint Hills of Kansas and moved to the Kansas City area in 1960. He began his professional career at Hallmark Cards Inc. in 1979. A Master Engraver, he now paints primarily “En Plein Air” across the globe with a limited pallet of only 4 colors.
