Bring your favorite wine or beverage and enjoy a relaxed, creative evening while our instructors guide you through a different hand-building project each week. Projects include mugs, planters, vases, wall pockets, and seasonal designs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">No experience is necessary, and we provide all the clay, tools, glazes, and instruction you\u2019ll need. At the end of the evening you\u2019ll glaze your finished piece, and we\u2019ll kiln fire it for pickup approximately two weeks later. Whether you\u2019re planning a date night, celebrating with friends, or simply looking for a creative way to spend your Saturday evening, Pottery & Pinot is a fun and memorable experience.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Visual Art\" category=\"6_0\"> Visual Art<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?giggle-time-children-s-program&event_id=93267\">Giggle Time Children's Program<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">09-02-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">12-02-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Overland Park, Kansas at Tomahawk Ridge Community Center, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?giggle-time-children-s-program&event_id=93267\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/02\/event-featured-giggle-time-childrens-program-1771870762-1066x600.png\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Sep 02 @ 10:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Oct 07 @ 10:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Nov 04 @ 10:00 am<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"eli_expand-more-dates\"> + 1 more dates and times<\/span>                    <p class=\"eli_p eli_more-date eli_hidden\">                        <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Dec 02 @ 10:00 am<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_collapse-more-dates\">- less dates and times<\/span><\/p>                    \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>The Giggle Time Children\u2019s 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\u2019s a great way for local families to connect while introducing children to the performing arts in a fun, accessible environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and

The Exhibition runs during the months of September & October. Why is State of the Arts the biggest exhibition on the Prairie Village Arts Council (PVAC) calendar? Several reasons stand out, including the exhibition's competition aspect. The PVAC receives hundreds of applications each year, guaranteeing a wide range of artistic styles and subject matter, all entered in hopes of winning the $1,000 Best in Show award. The juried competition also selects Merit awards worth $750 each. The turnout for this show is always strong, boosted in part by the chance to vote for the $250 People's Choice award. An important part of State of the Arts' appeal is its diversity, with stunning florals hanging near traditional depictions of Kansas City landmarks, feet away from daring landscapes, incisive portraits, and abstract pieces that provoke images and feelings in the mind of the viewer.

Spanning over Friday and Saturday during the last weekend in September, the event anchors its festivities around Thompson Park and along Santa Fe Drive, featuring an artisan fair with roughly 100 regional makers selling everything from handmade ceramics and jewelry to custom apparel. A major highlight is the integration of the nationally-ranked Overland Park Farmers\u2019 Market on Saturday morning, where attendees can shop for seasonal produce alongside a diverse lineup of food trucks offering festival staples like kettle corn, street tacos, and funnel cakes.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the shopping and food, the festival is a hub for live performance, utilizing multiple stages to host a mix of local bands, folk artists, and high-energy headliners. Families are a primary focus, with a dedicated schedule of children\u2019s entertainment that often includes the StoneLion Puppet Theatre, interactive science demonstrations, and \"meet-and-greets\" with popular characters.<\/p>\n<p>To ease the congestion of the tens of thousands of visitors, the city typically provides a free shuttle service from nearby locations like Shawnee Mission West High School, ensuring the event remains an accessible, community-driven way to welcome the autumn season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and Times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Friday September 25, 2026 - 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday September 26, 2026 - 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Festivals & Special Events\" category=\"52_0\"> Festivals & Special Events<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Visual Art\" category=\"6_0\"> Visual Art<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?mtc-kids-jam-joanie-leeds&event_id=97313\">MTC Kids Jam - Joanie Leeds<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">09-26-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">09-26-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College at Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?mtc-kids-jam-joanie-leeds&event_id=97313\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/05\/event-featured-mtc-kids-jam-joanie-leeds-and-the-nightlights-1777914473.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Sep 26 @ 11:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        <div class=\"eli_information-right\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_button-container\">\n                    <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etix.com\/ticket\/p\/53504306\/kids-jam-joanie-leeds-and-the-nighlights-overland-park-polsky-theatre\" class=\"eli_a eli_button eli_large\"><span class=\"eli_span\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                                \n                            <\/div>\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>The MTC Kids Jam concert series is specially designed with families in mind!

Bring your favorite wine or beverage and enjoy a relaxed, creative evening while our instructors guide you through a different hand-building project each week. Projects include mugs, planters, vases, wall pockets, and seasonal designs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">No experience is necessary, and we provide all the clay, tools, glazes, and instruction you\u2019ll need. At the end of the evening you\u2019ll glaze your finished piece, and we\u2019ll kiln fire it for pickup approximately two weeks later. Whether you\u2019re planning a date night, celebrating with friends, or simply looking for a creative way to spend your Saturday evening, Pottery & Pinot is a fun and memorable experience.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Visual Art\" category=\"6_0\"> Visual Art<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?giggle-time-children-s-program&event_id=93267\">Giggle Time Children's Program<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">09-02-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">12-02-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Overland Park, Kansas at Tomahawk Ridge Community Center, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?giggle-time-children-s-program&event_id=93267\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/02\/event-featured-giggle-time-childrens-program-1771870762-1066x600.png\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Sep 02 @ 10:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Oct 07 @ 10:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Nov 04 @ 10:00 am<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"eli_expand-more-dates\"> + 1 more dates and times<\/span>                    <p class=\"eli_p eli_more-date eli_hidden\">                        <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Dec 02 @ 10:00 am<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_collapse-more-dates\">- less dates and times<\/span><\/p>                    \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>The Giggle Time Children\u2019s 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\u2019s a great way for local families to connect while introducing children to the performing arts in a fun, accessible environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and

The Exhibition runs during the months of September & October. Why is State of the Arts the biggest exhibition on the Prairie Village Arts Council (PVAC) calendar? Several reasons stand out, including the exhibition's competition aspect. The PVAC receives hundreds of applications each year, guaranteeing a wide range of artistic styles and subject matter, all entered in hopes of winning the $1,000 Best in Show award. The juried competition also selects Merit awards worth $750 each. The turnout for this show is always strong, boosted in part by the chance to vote for the $250 People's Choice award. An important part of State of the Arts' appeal is its diversity, with stunning florals hanging near traditional depictions of Kansas City landmarks, feet away from daring landscapes, incisive portraits, and abstract pieces that provoke images and feelings in the mind of the viewer. The R.G. Endres Gallery, in Prairie Village City Hall, fills every year for this event, and this year's 20th Anniversary edition is likely to be the biggest ever, with \ud835\udfee\ud835\uddd7, \ud835\udfef\ud835\uddd7, \ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddf5\ud835\ude06, \ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude06\/\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf2 artworks juried in from the area's finest artists.<\/p>\n<p>\ud835\udde1\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude04 \ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddff \ud835\udfee\ud835\udfec\ud835\udfee\ud835\udff2: 1. the inclusion of photography and poetry\/prose 2. a theme: \ud835\ude4d\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude5a\ud835\ude58\ud835\ude69\ud835\ude5e\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude63\ud835\ude68<br \/>\n\ud835\udde7\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf2: \ud835\udde5\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd6\ud835\udde2\ud835\udddf\ud835\udddf\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd6\ud835\udde7\ud835\udddc\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde1\ud835\udde6<br \/>\nFor the first time (or at least in a long while) we have a THEME for State of the Arts.

Spanning over Friday and Saturday during the last weekend in September, the event anchors its festivities around Thompson Park and along Santa Fe Drive, featuring an artisan fair with roughly 100 regional makers selling everything from handmade ceramics and jewelry to custom apparel. A major highlight is the integration of the nationally-ranked Overland Park Farmers\u2019 Market on Saturday morning, where attendees can shop for seasonal produce alongside a diverse lineup of food trucks offering festival staples like kettle corn, street tacos, and funnel cakes.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the shopping and food, the festival is a hub for live performance, utilizing multiple stages to host a mix of local bands, folk artists, and high-energy headliners.
