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.
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.

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.

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.
