[more+]This exhibition transforms the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center into a vibrant exploration of contemporary impressionism, showcasing the signature style that has made artist Mike Savage a staple of the Kansas City art scene for over two decades. Known for his "joyful and energetic" approach, Savage utilizes bold, spontaneous brushstrokes and a vivid acrylic palette to elevate everyday scenes—from local landmarks like the Country Club Plaza to nostalgic landscapes inspired by his childhood—into works that feel both accessible and uplifting.

[more+]The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to host Angeline Rivas’s first institutional solo exhibition. Painted with airbrush on wood panel and canvas, the works of Angeline Rivas are vast, yet compact crucibles of a unique form of western Americana. Unlike typical airbrush paintings, Rivas’s works have a way of disclosing, as opposed to effacing, facture via imperfections, pieces of tape, and small moments of graffiti, making it such that the work has carved out a singular space for itself both on a formal and a conceptual level. Rivas (b. 1981) was born and raised in Kansas City, MO and is now based in Los Angeles, CA. Rivas earned her MFA in 2022 from the ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena, CA and her BFA in 2005 from Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, CA. Read the full essay about Rivas's work, written by Christina Catherine Martinez, artist writer, and comedian.

[more+]The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to present Michael Brantley’s first institutional solo exhibition. Guest curated by artist Harold Smith, Visionary will feature the elegant and sophisticated work of painter Michael Brantley, a master painter whose stunning work and practice compellingly encapsulates the love, fears, hopes, and dreams within the Black experience.
Whether he is painting a vibrant jazz singer, an emotionally stirring protest scene, or a reflective portrait, Brantley’s work is saturated with humanity, illuminating his dynamic, refined, and painterly approach. This exhibition will feature the artist's most recent work as well as some earlier pieces, giving the viewer a sweeping synopsis of Brantley's enlightening artistic practice.
Michael Brantley (b. 1970) is a multi-disciplinary figurative artist living and working in Kansas City, Missouri. Using oil paint as his preferred medium, his work reflects and celebrates the lifestyle, heritage, and culture of American Africans. Brantley’s art inspires, informs, and provokes dialogue. His large-scale monochromatic paintings in the jazz aesthetic have been spotlighted by the NFL and exhibited at the American Jazz Museum and at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Read the full essay about Brantley's work, written by guest curator Harold Smith.

[more+]For fifty years, American artist Linda Lighton (b. 1948) has created a powerful body of subversive ceramic sculptures that explore desire in all its complex forms. Her work uses wit and seduction as conceptual weaponry to mine the relationships between sex, power, and politics.
The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to present Linda Lighton: Love & War, a major retrospective exhibition that examines the arc of Lighton’s career, guest curated by Sydney Stutterheim, PhD, with curatorial assistance from Rose Dergan. It is accompanied by a 208-page book, published and internationally distributed by Hirmer. This richly illustrated monograph gives a comprehensive overview of her pioneering body of work, which pushes the boundaries of ceramic sculpture.
As a Kansas City native, Lighton offers a perspective on the American cultural landscape from the country’s center—an important distinction from the predominantly coastal focus in art discourses. Her work addresses universal experiences, yet her life story tells a unique narrative of rebellion and activism. Particularly, Lighton challenges long-standing expectations for women, exploring gender inequality concerns alongside her commitment to continuing the conversation around gun violence and environmental degradation. As the first-ever major museum survey of her work, Love & War highlights this singular artist’s continued insistence on the joyousness of life amidst social and political struggles.
Born into an affluent Midwestern family, Lighton could have taken the straightforward route and followed her father’s ambitions for her to marry well and become a housewife—a continuation of social ideals from an earlier generation. Instead, Lighton rejected this trajectory, insisting on her own desire to become an artist. When this was met with refusal, she left home, helped publish a leftist newspaper, got married, had a child, joined a commune on a Native American reservation in Washington State, where she lived without running water or electricity, and built an eight-sided log cabin by hand—all before the age of 25.
Linda Lighton lives and works in Kansas City, Missouri. She has exhibited her ceramic sculptures nationally and internationally since 1979. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, KC, MO; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, KC, MO; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; Kansas City Museum, KC, KS; Spencer Museum of Art, Lawrence, KS; Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, CA; American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, CA; Icheon World Ceramics Center, Icheon, Korea; FuLe International Ceramic Art Museum, the American Museum, Fuping, China; International Ceramic Museum, Kecskemet, Hungary; Latvian National Museum, Riga, Latvia; Jiesia Bone China Museum, Kaunas, Lithuania; Ariana Museum, Geneva, Switzerland; and the International Academy of Ceramics, Geneva, Switzerland, among others.

[more+]Accompanied by chamber orchestra and pipe organ, the Grammy-winning Kansas City Chorale presents Tender Light—an evening of choral masterworks that reflect on memory, love, and the journey of life.
The program honors the 30th anniversary of the Chorale’s recording of Fern Hill, a radiant setting of Dylan Thomas’s poetry by Grammy-, Oscar-, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Corigliano. This lush work captures the golden glow of childhood with warmth and nostalgia. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s passing, the Chorale offers his beloved Rejoice in the Lamb—an exuberant, mystical celebration of creation set to the visionary words of poet Christopher Smart.
The program also includes Five Hebrew Love Songs by Grammy-winning composer Eric Whitacre, written in collaboration with his Grammy-winning partner Hila Plitmann. These intimate miniatures express moments of tenderness and quiet beauty. Rounding out the evening is Ola Gjeilo’s Dark Night of the Soul, a luminous, soaring meditation on longing, transformation, and transcendence.

[more+]Their exciting performances masterfully combine explosive flamenco footwork, exotic instrumentation, and grooving basslines. These diverse backgrounds meld, creating what Bass Player Magazine calls a “gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco, Arabic and Andalusian music, Persian classical, and jazz." Born in the ancient city of Fes, Morocco, internationally acclaimed singer Lamiae Naki and her ensemble, Seffarine, channel their deep knowledge of the music of both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar, the crossroad where African, Middle Eastern, and European cultures meet. From the 9th to 15th centuries, these cultures coexisted peacefully, producing a seminal musical alchemy that influenced the foundations of both classical Arabic and European Renaissance music. In the 21st Century, Seffarine embraces and extends the rich legacy of this golden age of tolerance and exchange between Muslim, Jewish, and Christian cultures by creating fresh, innovative works reconnecting these shared Mediterranean roots. Charged with texture and color, Seffarine concerts carry the audience on a vibrant musical journey, channeling the heart-wrenching joy of the music and dance of North Africa and southern Spain to wide acclaim.

[more+]JigJam is born when virtuoso Irish playing jumps the pond and runs naked through the wide-open fields of bluegrass/Americana. Bluegrass and American folk music originated from the group’s home, and now JigJam is here to take it back!
JigJam made its Grand Ole Opry debut in March 2023 to critical acclaim, receiving a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd on Country Music’s biggest stage. The group was joined by Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Steve Earle, Lauren Alaina, and many more. This Offaly- and Tipperary-born band has started the first wave of attack in the new Irish invasion of Americana.
Foot stomping, high-energy badassery is what you’re in for when you see this musical powerhouse live in concert.
Founding members from Offaly Jamie McKeogh (lead singer and guitar) and Daithi Melia (five-string banjo and dobro) were joined by Tipperary-born Gavin Strappe (mandolin and tenor banjo) in 2016. They are joined by Kevin Buckley (fiddle) to make up this iGrass (Irish bluegrass) quartet.
Bluegrass has its roots in Irish music and Irish immigration. iGrass and JigJam is what happens when the Irish find their prodigal son.

[more+]The Giggle Time Children’s Program is a beloved community tradition in Overland Park designed to get toddlers and young children moving, laughing, and learning. The program hosts a diverse rotation of high-energy performers including popular regional musicians like Mr. Stinky Feet, the StoneLion Puppet Theatre, and various storytellers and magicians. Each session is built around the "giggle and wiggle" philosophy, encouraging active participation from the kids rather than just passive listening. Because the program is free and requires no pre-registration, it serves as a flexible, low-pressure outing for parents and caregivers. The venue shifts with the seasons to take advantage of the weather: events are typically held indoors at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center during the cooler months and move outdoors to Roe Park in June and August. It’s a great way for local families to connect while introducing children to the performing arts in a fun, accessible environment.
Dates and Performers:
Mar. 4 - Jane Christison
Apr. 1 - Priscilla Howe
May 6 - Dino O'Dell

[more+]Founded in Lviv in 2016, Yagódy the band began as a spontaneous project that grew out of their acting experience and love of folk music. Their approach to folk songs is unconventional: they reinterpret ancient melodies, immersing themselves in their drama and musical atmosphere. Each song for them is a separate action, a mini performance in which Ukrainian vocals, Balkan rhythms, and ancient songs merge and find their way into the hearts of the audience. Their music is the vibrations of nature, the call of blood that unites generations. It is a journey into the soul of everyone who is ready to feel connected to their own roots. The band actively tours the world and participates in international festivals. Their music has been heard from Norway to South Africa, from Romania to France. In 2024, Yagódy became a finalist in the National Selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Tsunamia.”

[more+]The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to host Angeline Rivas’s first institutional solo exhibition. Painted with airbrush on wood panel and canvas, the works of Angeline Rivas are vast, yet compact crucibles of a unique form of western Americana. Unlike typical airbrush paintings, Rivas’s works have a way of disclosing, as opposed to effacing, facture via imperfections, pieces of tape, and small moments of graffiti, making it such that the work has carved out a singular space for itself both on a formal and a conceptual level. Rivas (b. 1981) was born and raised in Kansas City, MO and is now based in Los Angeles, CA. Rivas earned her MFA in 2022 from the ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena, CA and her BFA in 2005 from Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, CA. Read the full essay about Rivas's work, written by Christina Catherine Martinez, artist writer, and comedian.

[more+]The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to present Michael Brantley’s first institutional solo exhibition. Guest curated by artist Harold Smith, Visionary will feature the elegant and sophisticated work of painter Michael Brantley, a master painter whose stunning work and practice compellingly encapsulates the love, fears, hopes, and dreams within the Black experience.
Whether he is painting a vibrant jazz singer, an emotionally stirring protest scene, or a reflective portrait, Brantley’s work is saturated with humanity, illuminating his dynamic, refined, and painterly approach. This exhibition will feature the artist's most recent work as well as some earlier pieces, giving the viewer a sweeping synopsis of Brantley's enlightening artistic practice.
Michael Brantley (b. 1970) is a multi-disciplinary figurative artist living and working in Kansas City, Missouri. Using oil paint as his preferred medium, his work reflects and celebrates the lifestyle, heritage, and culture of American Africans. Brantley’s art inspires, informs, and provokes dialogue. His large-scale monochromatic paintings in the jazz aesthetic have been spotlighted by the NFL and exhibited at the American Jazz Museum and at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Read the full essay about Brantley's work, written by guest curator Harold Smith.

[more+]For fifty years, American artist Linda Lighton (b. 1948) has created a powerful body of subversive ceramic sculptures that explore desire in all its complex forms. Her work uses wit and seduction as conceptual weaponry to mine the relationships between sex, power, and politics.
The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to present Linda Lighton: Love & War, a major retrospective exhibition that examines the arc of Lighton’s career, guest curated by Sydney Stutterheim, PhD, with curatorial assistance from Rose Dergan. It is accompanied by a 208-page book, published and internationally distributed by Hirmer. This richly illustrated monograph gives a comprehensive overview of her pioneering body of work, which pushes the boundaries of ceramic sculpture.
As a Kansas City native, Lighton offers a perspective on the American cultural landscape from the country’s center—an important distinction from the predominantly coastal focus in art discourses. Her work addresses universal experiences, yet her life story tells a unique narrative of rebellion and activism. Particularly, Lighton challenges long-standing expectations for women, exploring gender inequality concerns alongside her commitment to continuing the conversation around gun violence and environmental degradation. As the first-ever major museum survey of her work, Love & War highlights this singular artist’s continued insistence on the joyousness of life amidst social and political struggles.
Born into an affluent Midwestern family, Lighton could have taken the straightforward route and followed her father’s ambitions for her to marry well and become a housewife—a continuation of social ideals from an earlier generation. Instead, Lighton rejected this trajectory, insisting on her own desire to become an artist. When this was met with refusal, she left home, helped publish a leftist newspaper, got married, had a child, joined a commune on a Native American reservation in Washington State, where she lived without running water or electricity, and built an eight-sided log cabin by hand—all before the age of 25.
Linda Lighton lives and works in Kansas City, Missouri. She has exhibited her ceramic sculptures nationally and internationally since 1979. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, KC, MO; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, KC, MO; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; Kansas City Museum, KC, KS; Spencer Museum of Art, Lawrence, KS; Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, CA; American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, CA; Icheon World Ceramics Center, Icheon, Korea; FuLe International Ceramic Art Museum, the American Museum, Fuping, China; International Ceramic Museum, Kecskemet, Hungary; Latvian National Museum, Riga, Latvia; Jiesia Bone China Museum, Kaunas, Lithuania; Ariana Museum, Geneva, Switzerland; and the International Academy of Ceramics, Geneva, Switzerland, among others.

[more+]Accompanied by chamber orchestra and pipe organ, the Grammy-winning Kansas City Chorale presents Tender Light—an evening of choral masterworks that reflect on memory, love, and the journey of life.
The program honors the 30th anniversary of the Chorale’s recording of Fern Hill, a radiant setting of Dylan Thomas’s poetry by Grammy-, Oscar-, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Corigliano. This lush work captures the golden glow of childhood with warmth and nostalgia. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s passing, the Chorale offers his beloved Rejoice in the Lamb—an exuberant, mystical celebration of creation set to the visionary words of poet Christopher Smart.
The program also includes Five Hebrew Love Songs by Grammy-winning composer Eric Whitacre, written in collaboration with his Grammy-winning partner Hila Plitmann. These intimate miniatures express moments of tenderness and quiet beauty. Rounding out the evening is Ola Gjeilo’s Dark Night of the Soul, a luminous, soaring meditation on longing, transformation, and transcendence.

[more+]Their exciting performances masterfully combine explosive flamenco footwork, exotic instrumentation, and grooving basslines. These diverse backgrounds meld, creating what Bass Player Magazine calls a “gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco, Arabic and Andalusian music, Persian classical, and jazz." Born in the ancient city of Fes, Morocco, internationally acclaimed singer Lamiae Naki and her ensemble, Seffarine, channel their deep knowledge of the music of both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar, the crossroad where African, Middle Eastern, and European cultures meet. From the 9th to 15th centuries, these cultures coexisted peacefully, producing a seminal musical alchemy that influenced the foundations of both classical Arabic and European Renaissance music. In the 21st Century, Seffarine embraces and extends the rich legacy of this golden age of tolerance and exchange between Muslim, Jewish, and Christian cultures by creating fresh, innovative works reconnecting these shared Mediterranean roots. Charged with texture and color, Seffarine concerts carry the audience on a vibrant musical journey, channeling the heart-wrenching joy of the music and dance of North Africa and southern Spain to wide acclaim.

[more+]JigJam is born when virtuoso Irish playing jumps the pond and runs naked through the wide-open fields of bluegrass/Americana. Bluegrass and American folk music originated from the group’s home, and now JigJam is here to take it back!
JigJam made its Grand Ole Opry debut in March 2023 to critical acclaim, receiving a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd on Country Music’s biggest stage. The group was joined by Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Steve Earle, Lauren Alaina, and many more. This Offaly- and Tipperary-born band has started the first wave of attack in the new Irish invasion of Americana.
Foot stomping, high-energy badassery is what you’re in for when you see this musical powerhouse live in concert.
Founding members from Offaly Jamie McKeogh (lead singer and guitar) and Daithi Melia (five-string banjo and dobro) were joined by Tipperary-born Gavin Strappe (mandolin and tenor banjo) in 2016. They are joined by Kevin Buckley (fiddle) to make up this iGrass (Irish bluegrass) quartet.
Bluegrass has its roots in Irish music and Irish immigration. iGrass and JigJam is what happens when the Irish find their prodigal son.

[more+]The Giggle Time Children’s Program is a beloved community tradition in Overland Park designed to get toddlers and young children moving, laughing, and learning. The program hosts a diverse rotation of high-energy performers including popular regional musicians like Mr. Stinky Feet, the StoneLion Puppet Theatre, and various storytellers and magicians. Each session is built around the "giggle and wiggle" philosophy, encouraging active participation from the kids rather than just passive listening. Because the program is free and requires no pre-registration, it serves as a flexible, low-pressure outing for parents and caregivers. The venue shifts with the seasons to take advantage of the weather: events are typically held indoors at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center during the cooler months and move outdoors to Roe Park in June and August. It’s a great way for local families to connect while introducing children to the performing arts in a fun, accessible environment.
Dates and Performers:
Mar. 4 - Jane Christison
Apr. 1 - Priscilla Howe
May 6 - Dino O'Dell

[more+]Founded in Lviv in 2016, Yagódy the band began as a spontaneous project that grew out of their acting experience and love of folk music. Their approach to folk songs is unconventional: they reinterpret ancient melodies, immersing themselves in their drama and musical atmosphere. Each song for them is a separate action, a mini performance in which Ukrainian vocals, Balkan rhythms, and ancient songs merge and find their way into the hearts of the audience. Their music is the vibrations of nature, the call of blood that unites generations. It is a journey into the soul of everyone who is ready to feel connected to their own roots. The band actively tours the world and participates in international festivals. Their music has been heard from Norway to South Africa, from Romania to France. In 2024, Yagódy became a finalist in the National Selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Tsunamia.”
