52nd City

After, Saturday

There are at least two, high-quality events taking place on Saturday, in the early evening. We could suggest what you might want to do earlier in the evening, but that'd be risking harming that dead horse.

So:

Truck, an exhibit of work by Kansas City artists, will open up at White Flag Projects, with a 7-10 p.m. opening at the provocative midtown gallery. From White Flag's site: "With the goal of opening an improved dialogue between the visual arts communities in Kansas City and St. Louis, White Flag Projects and Kansas City’s Urban Culture Project are cooperating to organize TRUCK: A Kansas City/St. Louis Exchange Exhibition, a pair of exhibitions to be mounted in Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri. The artists chosen to represent each city in the other were arrived at through gallery visits, studio visits, and an open call to artists. The artists from St. Louis to be exhibited in Kansas City were selected by new media artist and Urban Culture Project Curatorial Advisory Board member Barry Anderson. The artists from Kansas City to be exhibited in St. Louis were selected by White Flag Projects Director Matthew Strauss. The exhibition of Kansas City artists in St. Louis will open April 14 at White Flag Projects, and the exhibition of St. Louis artists in Kansas City will open the following Friday, April 20 at Urban Culture Project’s brand new 2500 square foot La Esquina exhibition space."

Meanwhile, at the Schlafly Bottleworks, a fundraiser for the Mullanphy Emigrant Home will happen from 5-7:30 p.m., with details available at: www.savemullanphy.org.
