Davin Watne talks about Arterial Echoes at UMKC Gallery of Fine Arts.
Arterial Echoes features seven UMKC Studio Art Faculty members each shown alongside an artist who mentored them and an artist to whom they have mentored. The mentor/mentee relationship reverberates throughout the space, highlighting the threads that are strengthened between these bonds. One can consider the ways in which these contemporary artists’ practices overlap with one another, yet how their generational differences become evident.

Mark Scheel, talks about The Kansas Authors Club 2016 Convention.
The Kansas Authors Club, founded in 1904, welcomes creative, technical, academic, and journalistic writers. Since 1904, the club has offered the opportunity to writers to share experiences and problems unique to their profession, not only to novices but also to authors of national reputation. While magazines and books may be helpful in improving one’s writing skills, there is no substitute for the camaraderie enjoyed or the expertise developed when poets, playwrights, and prose writers meet to listen, discuss and analyze their craft in an atmosphere of mutual support.
The Kansas Authors Club is holding their annual convention in Lawrence at the Doubletree Inn on September 30 through October 2. Several prominent authors will be in attendance including the keynote speaker Eric McHenry the Kansas Poet Laureate. There will be presentations on different aspects of writing, a banquet Saturday evening, and writing awards announced. A portion of the programming is devoted to youth and families. Kansas authors' books will be on sale and Friday evening an authors' signing and readings Both members and non-members are welcome.
