Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, May 6, 2026, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes artist/brand strategist Ellie Kort, Ricky Catto creative technologist, Caryn Hohnholt with KC Hospice, and artist Annieo Klaas. ANNIEO KLAAS Cerbera Gallery cordially invites you to: "When The Sun Saw The Sky" New Works by Annieo Klaas Thursday, at the Cerbera Gallery 2011 Baltimore Ave Kansas City, MO 64108. In When The Sun Saw The Sky, Annieo Klaas presents a series of oil paintings inspired by sunlight filtering through window blinds, casting golden rays across her studio. As these rays fall onto her painted skies, a subtle visual loop emerges—light illuminating the sky, while the sky seems to look back at itself. Capturing these fleeting moments, Klaas creates atmospheric compositions that blur the line between interior and exterior, offering a quiet meditation on light, reflection, and perception. www.cerberagallery.com instagram: Annieo Klaas @annieoklaas ELLIE KORT artist/brand strategist & RICKY CATTO creative technologist- More than 45 studios will open inside the historic Livestock Exchange Building in the West Bottoms during Spring Open Studios on Friday, May 15, from 5 PM to 9 PM and Saturday, May 16, from 11 AM to 3 PM.

With studios across several floors, visitors can experience an artist studio community all in one place. This year's Spring Open Studios is organized by artists Ellie Kort and Ricky Catto on behalf of the artists working in the Livestock Exchange Building.

CARYN HOHNHOLT KC Hospice- Please join Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care as we illuminate Mill Creek Park at the Country Club Plaza with hundreds of luminaries, each in remembrance of someone who has left their mark on our hearts. Please arrive early to light your luminary. This free event is hosted by Kansas City Hospice and is open to all. Join us Tuesday, May 19, 8pm, at 47th Street & Mill Creek Parkway, KCMO (Please note, there are no virtual candles this year, but we will post a list of all honorees shortly following the event.) "Standing among hundreds of glowing luminaries, each one honoring a life deeply loved, I felt surrounded by a community that understands loss." The end of a person's life is a significant time when they can reflect on their life and accomplishments, work through their regrets and challenges, and spend their remaining days with friends and family in comfort and peace. For families, whose loved one is experiencing a serious illness or life-limiting condition, this precious time is one of life's most meaningful milestones. Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care thoughtfully designs our programs to give families the peace of mind to walk together with their loved ones through the end of life journey, and through the grief and healing process. We provide expertise, perspective, innovative local leadership, education, and solutions around end-of-life issues facing the greater Kansas City community. Our compassionate team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to serving individuals at home and throughout the community - no matter their age, financial resources, or complexity of needs. The goal of hospice and palliative care for both adults and children is to relieve pain and provide emotional support, comfort, and guidance to patients and their families. KCH provides families with a range of the highest quality healthcare services for infants through centenarians facing a serious illness or life-limiting condition. We also provide the wider community with a complex array of grief support, to help families emerge from loss with strength and understanding. www.kchospice.org Caryn joined the team at Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care in 2017 and has more than 26 years of executive leadership and fundraising experience.

Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, November 12, 2025, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes artists Lori Buntin and Jamil Lee. LORI BUNTIN (she/her/hers) is a multi-media artist, drawing from urban spaces and rural landscapes, social issues, and philosophy to guide her artistic output. Observing color, light, and form is what informs the subjects and compositions of her paintings. Pondering social and environmental issues, along with her frequent walkabouts in the urban core, collecting found objects, inform her mixed media work. These treks also reveal many of the subjects and compositions that end up in her paintings. Lori has worked in various realms of the fine and commercial art world. A custom picture framer since college days, practicing professionally to the present. She has produced many commissioned paintings, mixed media awards, worked as a muralists's assistant, managed a production crew in the hospitality industry, and created and fabricated multiple two- and three- dimensional works for interior public and private spaces. She has taught introductory drawing and painting at the college level, as well as in her private studio over the years. Her paintings and other artworks are in homes and collections across the country. Currently, Lori is focusing solely on her studio work in her space at the Livestock Exchange Building in Kansas City's West Bottoms. Instagram :  @loribuntinstudio Regarding Open Studios -  Friday, November 14  -  5pm-9pm Saturday November 15 -  11am-3pm Livestock Exchange Building 1600 Genessee Street -  in the West Bottoms There will be over 60 artists participating in this event, representing several different disciplines.

The event is free to the public. Facebook :   https://www.facebook.com/stockyardsstudios Instagram :  @stockyards_studios JAMIL LEE- My name is Jamil Lee and I am the founder of the International African American Art Museum of Kansas City. The museum was founded in late 2023. Since our start we have strived to be a great museum that has intimate settings allowing our guest and patrons to meet the artist though engaging shows and artist talks. With the intent of bringing African American art to the forefront. All while raising the next generation of African American artists to do significant things in the Kansas City area. We have already started some amazing indeavors here in the Kansas City area with our partners such as the ImPulse Gallery that is owned by the Black Economic Union and Nikki Gibson State Farm in developing pop-up miniature exhibits that last for three 30 days. We have helped over 30 plus artists gain exposure to corporate entities and the general public they would not have other wise known about. We have also been able to independently teach youth through our Spark program. Supporting Positive Artistic Resilient Kids. Through our program we have been able to help young artists in foundational art study and at the end of the program we give the kids their first art show. This allows the children to gain confidence and allows the process of learning how to conduct yourself properly and professionally as an artist. Although we thoroughly enjoy doing pop-ups we will never stop doing what brought us to the table. We do however see the need to be more unique and creative in our endeavors. We don't want to be just regulated to doing shows on the weekend and we do want people to visit us while still maintaining a pop-up presence. We are currently looking for fiscal partners in the realm of donations and sponsorships to help us gain access to a space that we can call home. We are also looking for those same partnerships to help us in our mobilized art museum. We will be converting a 17 foot box truck into our mobile art museum so we can better serve our community by popping up anywhere in Kansas City and the surrounding areas. We also want a additional smaller box truck to be our mobile STEM lab for kids called the SPARK LAB These three new endeavors will also allow us to grow deeper connections in the arts and business communities respectfully. We are currently looking for donations and funding we are looking for a total of fifty thousand dollars to begin our process of strategic planning financial planning and renting our own space this will allow us to grow deeper within our community teach and raise young artists and cultivate emerging and mid-career African American and Hispanic artists to greater new heights. I have been an artist and designer for over 20 years. Doing shows not only in the Kansas City area but around the country Washington DC summer of 2023 was the last show that I did outside of the Kansas City area. Now that you know a little bit about me and what we do I as the founder of IAAAMKC would hope to have your continued support. We can't do any of this without your support.
