CONGRATULATIONS!

    The 2007 $500.00 GKCAA Scholarship winner is Paul Jason Crow, a senior from Lee’s Summit , who will be attending Missouri State University .  His main focus is portraiture and the committee agreed unanimously that he is our tremendously talented winner.  I spoke to him to verify that he had received our congratulatory letter and the scholarship check.  He was off to school the Friday early in August and I wished him success in his college career and extended an invitation to attend a GKCAA meeting whenever he is back in town on the second Monday of the month.

     The Greater Kansas City Art Association is a non-profit organization that has actively promoted the appreciation of visual arts in the Kansas City area by providing art exhibits and services to the public. It was founded in 1956 by a group of  local artists with the idea of bringing together as many of those local artists as possible to promote an exchange of thoughts and techniques and to be able to approach the public as a unified group of professionals. 
     The association meets every second Monday of the month at Valley View Methodist Church, 9405 Woodward, Overland Park, KS (near 95th and Antioch). Meetings are informative and fun. We usually have a guest speaker who lectures with a slide presentation or demonstration. The Association presents an annual art show each year at the Metcalf South Shopping Center in Overland Park. There are over two hundred artists in the Association who work in all media such as watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, mixed media and sculpture. Many of the members are known nationally and compete in national shows throughout the country winning awards while doing so.
     GKCAA wants to share with the public the enjoyment and excitement of the visual arts in this region. The services and activities of GKCAA are available to all persons regardless of race, color, creed, ethnic background or religious affiliation.
