Take Time to Be Kind

February 13 - 19

Take Time to Be Kind is one week devoted to performing random and purposeful acts of kindness throughout the Lee's Summit community. Community members, students and businesses are encouraged to participate - perhaps performing a good deed for a friend, neighbor or stranger - without the expectation of anything in return. It doesn't take much to make someone's day with a few kind words or actions.

Jackson County Community Arts Conversation

February 9 & 12

Jackson County recognizes that the arts; in all their forms, have the power to significantly impact the health and well-being of the community. They’ve asked ArtsKC to coordinate the creation of a plan for how to best support the arts & culture community to maximize this impact.

Anyone who lives, works, or has experienced art in Jackson County should participate in a Zoom session. Art is everywhere around us and we all benefit from having arts in our neighborhoods and lives.

New Featured Art Exhibit

Catch the newest exhibit at City Hall! Feliz DeLuco, a new resident of Lee's Summit, is the featured artist. Feliz's work consists of acrylic painting and sketching.

"At this beginning stage of my career, my work consists of black and white portraits of visionaries in the Black community. My use of black and white as opposed to color in the creation of my portraits is intentional. I enjoy the simplicity of a black and white portrait," Feliz said. "Just like eliminating one of our senses can enhance the other four, the elimination of vibrant color is my way of preventing distraction from the subject, texture, and composition of my paintings."

Feliz's work is on display in the lobby of City Hall through March 4.
