New in the Trusler Gallery: A.L. Redden – Left Under the Surface

February 1st – 24th · Artist Reception: February 2nd 4-6pm

Amy Redden is a high school English Teacher in the Kansas City Metro Area. While she has never had formal lessons or training, art has always been her solace and a way to express herself. From illustrating her poetry collection Hindsight to creating cards and stickers, Amy has enjoyed creating things. To her, creation is as essential as breathing.

For her debut show, Left Under the Surface, Amy chose to create a singular feeling, rather than a concrete object. This show focuses on what we cannot say or what has gone unsaid. Whether it is a look, a silence, or an absence, we have all left things unsaid. Combining watercolor, gold leaf, and poetry, this collection explores all the times we have remained silent.

Amy hopes that you enjoy the pieces as much as she has, and that this would be an encouragement to be bold enough to be honest.

Emporia Arts Council Presents: The Doo Wop Project, February 29th at the Emporia Granada Theatre · 7:00pm

The Doo Wop Project starts at the beginning, tracing the inception of group singing developed by inner city African Americans performing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today!

The Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate – and in some cases entirely reimagine – some of the greatest music in American pop and rock history!

Tickets available at the Emporia Arts Center, 815 Commercial St. or online at emporiaksarts.org
