Painting Rottweiler to Headline End-of-Summer 1st Friday Art Party
Charity Tent Sale – 1,000s of Books to benefit Hope House & Write the Future
(Kansas City) TODAY – Prospero’s Parkside Books invites everyone to join us for our End of Summer 1st Friday Art Party & Charity Tent Sale on Friday September 2nd at Prospero’s Parkside Books, 208 N. 7 Highway just south of I-70 in the heart of Blue Springs.
September Art Party
Prospero’s Parkside’s 1st Friday Art Parties are a monthly cultural arts series featuring showings of visual art and live performances of music and literary arts by regional artists. Over the last year, the 1st Friday Art Parties have shown a spotlight on over 50 poets, playwrights, actors, painters and musicians.
The September Art Party will feature visual art from a special Blue Springs artist: Abram. Abram is a 15-month old Rottweiler puppy who loves paw-painting in watercolors. While anthropologists contend that art is one of the things that separates humans from animals, recent years have revealed many art-producing animals. Abram’s work includes brightly-colored rainbows, flowers and ponds. This will be his first showing. Live music will be provided by classically trained guitarist Joe Gameson and special guest from Chicago, Rachel Gaither who will present original music influenced by classical, Latin ambient styles. In addition, a poetry open mic will highlight original work from several regional poets including Eve Brackenbury and Will Leathem.
Charity Tent Sale.
Coinciding with this month’s 1st Friday Art Party, Prospero’s will be hold an End of Summer Tent Sale offering 1,000s of books at bargain Prices.
Pricing: Hardbacks $3
Oversized Paperbacks $2
Pocket Paperbacks $1
Half of all proceeds from sale books will be donated to support two regional charities: Hope House: providing support to more than 10,000 victims of domestic abuse every year. Write the Future: a Missouri nonprofit helping emerging regional writers.
