A year of local art
For years, the artist community in St. Joseph struggled with the frustration of not having a stable, permanent place to display work. That all changed with the opening of Gallery 7.
The great outdoors
From the trails of Montana and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to the rolling fields of Kansas and Maine’s Atlantic shores, Theodore Waddell and John Roush have always been inspired by outdoor scenery. And while both men are stirred by nature and rural areas, each has very different ways of painting a scene.
Express yourself
If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at being an artist, this weekend is your chance at Civic Center Park.

DVD Review: "Valkyrie"
The historical thriller and Tom Cruise vehicle "Valkyrie" was originally supposed to be released in the summer 2008 as a possible blockbuster. It was later delayed to the winter as potential Oscar bait.
But "Valkyrie" belongs in neither category. Instead, the Bryan Singer-directed film comes off as a run-of-the-mill thriller where the thrills come too late and too few.
Expression through the figurative
As he surveys the people of Kansas City, painter Joseph Lorusso sees something that others don’t: Artistic inspiration.

A space for the youth
High school artists’ work usually resides in their bedroom or the classroom. So for them and their supporters, there’s something about getting the chance to display the products of their creativity in a museum that offers its own particular thrill.
Fest for thespians
Just because people choose theater over sports doesn’t mean they lose their competitive edge. And with the Missouri Association of Community Theatre State Festival this weekend, community theatre groups from across the Show Me State will get a chance to show they’ve got the dramatic goods.

Words & weavings
When you lay your eyes on a piece of artwork, it can inspire you to think particular thoughts or words. And sometimes when you read literature, certain imagery comes to mind.
At the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art this weekend, you’ll get a chance to experience both at the same time with the new exhibit by weaver/photographer Dobree Adams and author/book designer Jonathan Greene in “Segues: Works in Wool/Works on Paper, A Collaboration of Vision and Voice.” The exhibit will run from Jan. 17 through April 11 with an opening reception from 4 to 7 p.m. today.
Professors on parade
It’s that time again when the art professors at Northwest Missouri State University get to strut their stuff. The once-a-year event allows students to see what all the instruction is all about and gives the community an opportunity to view work that normally is shipped off to exhibits around the country.
