Host/producer of ARTSPEAK RADIO, Maria Vasquez Boyd talks with gallery owner Bill Haw Jr., writer Taylor Irwin, and community activist Martha Gershun. Bill Haw Jr.-Haw Contemporary displays works by local and international artists, Haw Contemporary attempts to bring a wide perspective on art to its Stockyard district location and does it with flair and panache despite its young age (it was founded in September 2013). Bill Haw, the owner, assures that in picking out the gallery’s artists and works, ‘it’s all about finding what’s great, and what fits’ – he does not limit the art space to one given genre or style. Indeed, the gallery’s comprehensive outlook on culture and art is attested by its diverse activities. The Crossroads building recently vacated by the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art is being purchased by Kansas City civic leader Bill Lyons who plans to lease part of it to an expanded Haw Contemporary. Bill Haw Jr. plans to leases about 2,500 square feet on the east side of the building at 19th & Baltimore to allow him to grow beyond his current operation in the West Bottoms.

Wednesday February 14, 2018 Host/producer Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes guests/contributors to today's program, Where Were You? Valentine's Edition, astrologer/intuituve/lawyer Quan Tracy Cherry, community activist Lucky Garcia, performer/writer Susanna Lee Lucky Deluxe, poet/police officer Chato Villalobos, and artist/author/performer Rick Stasi. Where Were You? Maria Vasquez Boyd asks the question to individuals who respond with unique answers from their perspective. From historical events to pop culture Where Were You? highlights a landmark in time or a rite of passage through the eyes of individuals. Generations of people experience life differently, thus everyone has a story. Think about it; where were you when the Stonewall Riots took place, man landed on the moon, you read Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein or viewed the 1931 iconic horror film for the first time, where were you when Obama was elected President or when you received your first kiss, etc. Where Were You? Valentine's Edition-think about it, where were you when you fell in love with… your significant other, science, music, ’57 Chevy, your child, yoga, literature, Chicago, politics. You name it, you write it you read it, we listen. #artspeakradio #kkficommunityradio
