Citizens for the Arts Day at the Legislature

is February 6.

Are you going? Let us know ASAP!

We are working with ArtsKC to compile a list of local arts advocates who will be making the trip to Jefferson City to meet with their legislators. We want to know how many people from Lee's Summit and surrounding areas are attending.

You are invited to reserve your spot on a charter bus organized by ArtsKC. The day will include transportation to and from Jefferson City, lunch and a wealth of information to share with your elected representatives.

Let us know you're attending.

January City Hall Lobby Exhibit: Warren Harvey

On January 14 a new solo exhibit opens at Lee's Summit City Hall featuring the works of Warren Harvey.

In his youth while attending school in Lee’s Summit, Harvey took an interest in the arts at a very young age. He is a self-taught visual artist, yet his talents also include photography, dance, poetry, and inspirational speaking.

“My work is a reflection of my truth: a reflection of my personality. I create according to my inner guide. My emotions drive me into various expressions”, notes Harvey. He gains his inspiration for his work from within – using vibrant colors to evoke the emotions he experiences both in the chaos of daily life and the beauty of nature.

Learn more about Warren Harvey here . His artwork will be on display at City Hall through March 1.
