Two artists are scheduled to exhibit their works on Saturday, Aug. 10, at the Alcott Arts Center, 180 S. 18th St., Kansas City, Kansas.
Cheyenne Banda, a self-taught mixed media artist, will have a show in the Harrison Gallery at the Alcott. Her work includes mixed media and computer artwork, and she mashes it together in a colorful and thought-provoking way, said Chris Green, Alcott executive director. Banda’s art might be considered surreal.
Xavier Gayden works with watercolors on paper and has developed a unique style, Green said. His pictures tell a story, often from his life.
The galleries open at 6 p.m. Saturday and close at 8:30 p.m., with a reception for the artists at 6:30 p.m. There will be air-conditioning.
Green said the Alcott Arts Center also is gearing up for its Shakespeare production this year, which is a spin on the classic, “Two Gentlemen from Verona.” The Alcott’s production will be titled “Two People from Verona,” and it will include women in the cast.
The comedy will be performed at 3 p.m. Sept. 14-15 and Sept. 21-22. This year, the production will be indoors at the Alcott, and there will be air-conditioning, Green said. Chairs will be provided. Admission will be a suggested donation of $5.
