What are they up to in Kansas City?

Here are 156 photos from the Kansas City Star online...it will give anyone who hasn't been there a nice look at the crowd that attends, the entertainment and a little bit of the art. The Plaza is Kansas Citians version of a "coming out party." http://www.kansascity.com/2010/09/24/2248951/plaza-art-fair-2010.html

And here is a little "street theatre" from the Plaza...http://guideforthearts.tv/?p=14777

Here is a wrap-up piece from the Star, a little more local flavor: http://www.kansascity.com/2010/09/26/2253126/plaza-art-fair-wraps-up-its-three.html

We did this art fair for many years and it was always a decent event, so many good artists, it was fun to hang out with the other artists. One of my favorite stories is that one year our neighbor was Emerson, a photographer, who always draws a nice crowd and is a great guy. This particular Saturday afternoon there was a movie he wanted to see so he just left his booth and asked us to tell people he'd be back later if they inquired. Then he went off to the movie!

  • Connie,

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Plaza Art Fair yesterday. While it was a mess trying to find a place to park, once we did, we enjoyed the multitude of artists. My cousin, Christina Smith (who referred me to Art Fair Insiders), was helping her husband, David Curles, with his booth. He has some amazing pieces, and did very well this weekend.

    I enjoyed checking out the photographer's booths, and despite encountering a rather standoffish individual, enjoyed conversations with a few artists that were more than happy to discuss their work, and offer some nice advice for my own journey.

    Regards,

    Julie
