The works also serve as a meditation on impermanence, survival, and the fragile beauty of the present moment. Rol\u00f3n explores how histories of migration, colonialism, environmental devastation, and cultural resilience shape both personal and collective identity. Through sculpture, drawing, painting, and fabric works, Rol\u00f3n\u2019s goal is for the viewer to walk away with a communal experience.<\/p>\n<p>In works incorporating FEMA tarps, repurposed materials, gold leaf, and imagery of Caribbean flora and fauna, Rol\u00f3n transforms remnants of destruction into spaces of reflection and beauty. The phrase <em>ALL WE HAVE IS RIGHT NOW<\/em> speaks to the urgency embedded within these materials. Hurricane Maria, climate crisis, and ongoing ecological and political instability throughout the Caribbean reinforce the idea that permanence is an illusion. What remains is the present moment: the act of survival, remembrance, creation, and connection. The title also reflects Rol\u00f3n\u2019s interest in devotional and contemplative space. The phrase encourages viewers to pause and become present, to recognize both the vulnerability and sacredness of life. It suggests an emotional tension between loss and gratitude, mourning and transcendence.<\/p>\n<p><em>ALL WE HAVE IS RIGHT NOW<\/em> is both a philosophical statement and a form of resistance. It acknowledges uncertainty while affirming the human capacity to create beauty, preserve memory, and find meaning despite instability. Rol\u00f3n\u2019s works remind viewers that the present moment may be fleeting, but it is also where resilience, care, and transformation become possible.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Rol\u00f3n (b. 1970) is an artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, and social engagement. Drawing from a wide range of materials and craft traditions, his work explores themes of ritual, beauty, spirituality, and identity, while examining their relationship to art history and institutional contexts.<\/p>\n<p>Born to a Puerto Rican family in the United States, Rol\u00f3n\u2019s work often reflects personal memory and the visual culture of domestic spaces shaped by migration and aspiration. Ornament, pattern, and materiality\u2014often associated with craft and decoration\u2014become central elements in his exploration of belonging, cultural hybridity, and the formation of identity.<\/p>\n<p>Through paintings, sculptural works, and site-specific installations, Rol\u00f3n creates environments that bridge public and private space, inviting reflection on symbolism, social barriers, and the ways cultivated environments reflect histories of class, migration, and postcolonial experience.<\/p>\n<p>Rol\u00f3n\u2019s work moves between exuberance and contemplation, using material and form to examine the cultural and emotional landscapes embedded within everyday spaces.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n

His large canvases are filled with an interlayered web of cartographic iconography drawn from road maps, Osage philosophy, and his own visual vernacular. Through these maps, his images have become records documenting an introspective journey, navigating spaces between <em>home<\/em> and <em>away<\/em>, tracing the temporal shifts of place, and witnessing the ecological politics of who has a right to be and to belong. Until now, Akers\u2019s paintings have been a diary. They are now a herald. His new work is a commentary on the unprecedented, rapid ecological degradation we are all experiencing, a call to arms for us all in this latter stage of the Anthropocene.<\/p>\n<p>The abstractions of place are woven from the constructed map elements, often conflating Osage homelands in the before and since Removal. The elk and the turtle are cultural references to the earth and Turtle Island (North America), respectively. Together they manifest what Akers describes as \u201can abstraction of the relationship that humans have to the earth\u2019s surface.\u201d His bold, painterly brushstrokes visualize the speed and aggression with which the decline is happening. There is no time in this space to find an acute focus. Akers calls to us to look. We must look at the land, the disruption of the earth, the exploitation of water, and our own individual roles in this brutalization of our precious earth.<\/p>\n<p>Each canvas has a bisecting horizon line, drawing from cultural notions of balance between earth and sky. Akers uses the horizon line to express an appreciation, an affection, for the earth\u2019s perfection to provide for our very lives. It is within this place, this space that we share, that the metaphoric elk witnesses the rapidly changing destabilization of all that makes our survival possible.<\/p>\n<p>The elk, ever present within Akers\u2019s canvases, stands as an Osage visual mnemonic for the earth, perceived in the humps of its back as the hills of the prairie and the intersecting movement of its antlers that mimic the flow of riverine systems. In these canvases, the elk stands as witness to our desecration of the earth\u2019s surface. He holds court, watching us capitalize the very resources upon which we rely, making them unaffordable for those who need them now and exhausting them for future generations. The elk returns the viewer\u2019s gaze, steadfastly holding us each accountable for our personal actions.<\/p>\n<p>There is no time to look at where the damage started nor to wait for the apocalypse. Akers asks us to look at the space between, \u2014 where we are now \u2014 and to consider to what end our individual choices will benefit and harm as we move forward. Each of us is caught in the same web of being, between the past and the future, held accountable by the elk\u2019s unrelenting gaze.<\/p>\n<p>There is no absolute end to this journey, only the recognition that we are on the journey together, sharing the only life raft with the earth itself. Our survival can be mutual but is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<em>heather ahtone, Director, Curatorial Affairs, First Americans Museum, Oklahoma City, OK<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Norman Akers earned his Master of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL; a certificate in Museum Studies from the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, NM; and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the Kansas City Art Institute, Kansas City, MO.<\/p>\n<p>This project is part of the initiative <em>Home Is Where We Are: Art of First Americans<\/em>.

Each student surveyed and researched the museum's permanent collection and collectively curated this installation. Selecting Terran Last Gun's <em>Another Human Being Experience: Return of the Unseen to Offer Guidance<\/em> as a foundation, the cohort composed a central theme. The works in this exhibition represent the spectrum of humanity and encourage us to ponder the experiences that make us human.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these works serve as a visual interpretation of personal and universal experiences, each alluding to beliefs, emotions, and histories. We often neglect the role the unseen plays in shaping each of us as individuals, yet while obscure or abstract, these experiences become a collection of hidden histories and memories we carry with us, shaping our perception of the world. These artworks give form to the intangible and ineffable, allowing us to perceive and engage them in the physical world.<\/p>\n<p>The use of paper acts as a common thread, and varied processes, including textile, collage, drawing, and printmaking showcase the range of ways this simple material can convey meaning. Just as paper must be preserved to avoid degradation over time, the practice of retelling stories becomes an act of preservation too, keeping the stories alive year after year through our memories. Through these pieces, the threads that connect us to each other become tangible.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Curatorial Interns: Mayte Caballero, Kai Davidson, Freya Gery, D\u2019Naysha Lee, Sheila Njiru, Ansel

What appears at first to be a simple design of misty colors is a thoughtful feminist statement. Chicago\u2019s male contemporaries produced precise paintings and rigid sculptures that were perceived as masculine because of their hard, geometric lines. The composition of <em>Big Blue Pink<\/em> recognizes these macho conventions, which are in turn challenged by the work\u2019s soft gradient of gentle colors. Chicago intentionally chose the gendered colors of blue and pink to reinforce her message of feminine agency. Adding another layer of complexity, she created this work with an industrial sprayer used to paint cars.<\/p>\n<p>This special installation is on loan from Art Bridges.<\/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=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/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?exhibition-special-olympics-of-kansas-art-show&event_id=104871\">Exhibition | Special Olympics of Kansas Art Show<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">11-16-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">01-15-2027<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    Prairie Village Arts Council at R.G.

Described by audience goers as a mini\u2013Trans Siberian Orchestra experience, TAKE3 is nothing short of exhilarating. They have electrified audiences at over 600 venues across the U.S. and abroad, including performing arts centers, festivals, and symphony halls. Their unmistakable style and infectious joy in music-making brings them to over 50 stops each season, including the Lied Center in Nebraska, Bankhead Theater in California, Alberta Bair in Montana, the Indianapolis Violin Competition Laureate series, as well as 54 Below and Rockwood Music hall in New York, and the Vibrato Grill in LA. They regularly perform their set with full symphony orchestra, including the Lancaster Festival Orchestra in Ohio, Cape Symphony in Massachusetts, and the Music in the Mountains Festival Orchestra in Colorado. TAKE3 was created by violinist\/vocalist Lindsay Deutsch, Yanni's featured violin soloist, with whom she has toured throughout most of the seven continents. Deutsch has over 100,000 Instagram followers and can be heard throughout Netflix\u2019s popular show \u201cThe Witcher\u201d and the Hulu series \u201cAll About Pam.\u201d<\/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=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/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?ironwoods-holiday-market&event_id=100597\">Ironwoods Holiday Market<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">11-22-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">11-22-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Leawood at The Lodge at Ironwoods Park, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?ironwoods-holiday-market&event_id=100597\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/11\/event-featured-the-lodge-holiday-market-1793895692-611x600.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\">Sun, Nov 22 @ 12:00 pm<\/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:\/\/ksleawoodweb.myvscloud.com\/webtrac\/web\/search.html?display=detail&FMID=53878848&Module=AR&_csrf_token=ca720J6M6Y021G362C352N4G563X5F50194Q3S584Q1G5X635H4U706X475S59176T3P5W516S5O4V5A6O195H4O4X5M076S5T4E4C016N4N446I0F5D4H564P6G5P4D6C\" 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>Get ready for the season's greetings in this festive indoor shopping experience, featuring local businesses, boutiques, artisans and specialty vendors!

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 works also serve as a meditation on impermanence, survival, and the fragile beauty of the present moment. Rol\u00f3n explores how histories of migration, colonialism, environmental devastation, and cultural resilience shape both personal and collective identity. Through sculpture, drawing, painting, and fabric works, Rol\u00f3n\u2019s goal is for the viewer to walk away with a communal experience.<\/p>\n<p>In works incorporating FEMA tarps, repurposed materials, gold leaf, and imagery of Caribbean flora and fauna, Rol\u00f3n transforms remnants of destruction into spaces of reflection and beauty. The phrase <em>ALL WE HAVE IS RIGHT NOW<\/em> speaks to the urgency embedded within these materials. Hurricane Maria, climate crisis, and ongoing ecological and political instability throughout the Caribbean reinforce the idea that permanence is an illusion. What remains is the present moment: the act of survival, remembrance, creation, and connection. The title also reflects Rol\u00f3n\u2019s interest in devotional and contemplative space. The phrase encourages viewers to pause and become present, to recognize both the vulnerability and sacredness of life. It suggests an emotional tension between loss and gratitude, mourning and transcendence.<\/p>\n<p><em>ALL WE HAVE IS RIGHT NOW<\/em> is both a philosophical statement and a form of resistance. It acknowledges uncertainty while affirming the human capacity to create beauty, preserve memory, and find meaning despite instability. Rol\u00f3n\u2019s works remind viewers that the present moment may be fleeting, but it is also where resilience, care, and transformation become possible.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Rol\u00f3n (b. 1970) is an artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, and social engagement. Drawing from a wide range of materials and craft traditions, his work explores themes of ritual, beauty, spirituality, and identity, while examining their relationship to art history and institutional contexts.<\/p>\n<p>Born to a Puerto Rican family in the United States, Rol\u00f3n\u2019s work often reflects personal memory and the visual culture of domestic spaces shaped by migration and aspiration. Ornament, pattern, and materiality\u2014often associated with craft and decoration\u2014become central elements in his exploration of belonging, cultural hybridity, and the formation of identity.<\/p>\n<p>Through paintings, sculptural works, and site-specific installations, Rol\u00f3n creates environments that bridge public and private space, inviting reflection on symbolism, social barriers, and the ways cultivated environments reflect histories of class, migration, and postcolonial experience.<\/p>\n<p>Rol\u00f3n\u2019s work moves between exuberance and contemplation, using material and form to examine the cultural and emotional landscapes embedded within everyday spaces.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n

His large canvases are filled with an interlayered web of cartographic iconography drawn from road maps, Osage philosophy, and his own visual vernacular. Through these maps, his images have become records documenting an introspective journey, navigating spaces between <em>home<\/em> and <em>away<\/em>, tracing the temporal shifts of place, and witnessing the ecological politics of who has a right to be and to belong. Until now, Akers\u2019s paintings have been a diary. They are now a herald. His new work is a commentary on the unprecedented, rapid ecological degradation we are all experiencing, a call to arms for us all in this latter stage of the Anthropocene.<\/p>\n<p>The abstractions of place are woven from the constructed map elements, often conflating Osage homelands in the before and since Removal. The elk and the turtle are cultural references to the earth and Turtle Island (North America), respectively. Together they manifest what Akers describes as \u201can abstraction of the relationship that humans have to the earth\u2019s surface.\u201d His bold, painterly brushstrokes visualize the speed and aggression with which the decline is happening. There is no time in this space to find an acute focus. Akers calls to us to look. We must look at the land, the disruption of the earth, the exploitation of water, and our own individual roles in this brutalization of our precious earth.<\/p>\n<p>Each canvas has a bisecting horizon line, drawing from cultural notions of balance between earth and sky. Akers uses the horizon line to express an appreciation, an affection, for the earth\u2019s perfection to provide for our very lives. It is within this place, this space that we share, that the metaphoric elk witnesses the rapidly changing destabilization of all that makes our survival possible.<\/p>\n<p>The elk, ever present within Akers\u2019s canvases, stands as an Osage visual mnemonic for the earth, perceived in the humps of its back as the hills of the prairie and the intersecting movement of its antlers that mimic the flow of riverine systems. In these canvases, the elk stands as witness to our desecration of the earth\u2019s surface. He holds court, watching us capitalize the very resources upon which we rely, making them unaffordable for those who need them now and exhausting them for future generations. The elk returns the viewer\u2019s gaze, steadfastly holding us each accountable for our personal actions.<\/p>\n<p>There is no time to look at where the damage started nor to wait for the apocalypse. Akers asks us to look at the space between, \u2014 where we are now \u2014 and to consider to what end our individual choices will benefit and harm as we move forward. Each of us is caught in the same web of being, between the past and the future, held accountable by the elk\u2019s unrelenting gaze.<\/p>\n<p>There is no absolute end to this journey, only the recognition that we are on the journey together, sharing the only life raft with the earth itself. Our survival can be mutual but is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<em>heather ahtone, Director, Curatorial Affairs, First Americans Museum, Oklahoma City, OK<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Norman Akers earned his Master of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL; a certificate in Museum Studies from the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, NM; and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the Kansas City Art Institute, Kansas City, MO.<\/p>\n<p>This project is part of the initiative <em>Home Is Where We Are: Art of First Americans<\/em>.

Each student surveyed and researched the museum's permanent collection and collectively curated this installation. Selecting Terran Last Gun's <em>Another Human Being Experience: Return of the Unseen to Offer Guidance<\/em> as a foundation, the cohort composed a central theme. The works in this exhibition represent the spectrum of humanity and encourage us to ponder the experiences that make us human.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these works serve as a visual interpretation of personal and universal experiences, each alluding to beliefs, emotions, and histories. We often neglect the role the unseen plays in shaping each of us as individuals, yet while obscure or abstract, these experiences become a collection of hidden histories and memories we carry with us, shaping our perception of the world. These artworks give form to the intangible and ineffable, allowing us to perceive and engage them in the physical world.<\/p>\n<p>The use of paper acts as a common thread, and varied processes, including textile, collage, drawing, and printmaking showcase the range of ways this simple material can convey meaning. Just as paper must be preserved to avoid degradation over time, the practice of retelling stories becomes an act of preservation too, keeping the stories alive year after year through our memories. Through these pieces, the threads that connect us to each other become tangible.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Curatorial Interns: Mayte Caballero, Kai Davidson, Freya Gery, D\u2019Naysha Lee, Sheila Njiru, Ansel

Chicago intentionally chose the gendered colors of blue and pink to reinforce her message of feminine agency. Adding another layer of complexity, she created this work with an industrial sprayer used to paint cars.<\/p>\n<p>This special installation is on loan from Art Bridges.<\/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=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/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?exhibition-special-olympics-of-kansas-art-show&event_id=104871\">Exhibition | Special Olympics of Kansas Art Show<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">11-16-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">01-15-2027<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    Prairie Village Arts Council at R.G.

Described by audience goers as a mini\u2013Trans Siberian Orchestra experience, TAKE3 is nothing short of exhilarating. They have electrified audiences at over 600 venues across the U.S. and abroad, including performing arts centers, festivals, and symphony halls. Their unmistakable style and infectious joy in music-making brings them to over 50 stops each season, including the Lied Center in Nebraska, Bankhead Theater in California, Alberta Bair in Montana, the Indianapolis Violin Competition Laureate series, as well as 54 Below and Rockwood Music hall in New York, and the Vibrato Grill in LA. They regularly perform their set with full symphony orchestra, including the Lancaster Festival Orchestra in Ohio, Cape Symphony in Massachusetts, and the Music in the Mountains Festival Orchestra in Colorado. TAKE3 was created by violinist\/vocalist Lindsay Deutsch, Yanni's featured violin soloist, with whom she has toured throughout most of the seven continents. Deutsch has over 100,000 Instagram followers and can be heard throughout Netflix\u2019s popular show \u201cThe Witcher\u201d and the Hulu series \u201cAll About Pam.\u201d<\/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=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/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?ironwoods-holiday-market&event_id=100597\">Ironwoods Holiday Market<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">11-22-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">11-22-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Leawood at The Lodge at Ironwoods Park, Overland Park<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?ironwoods-holiday-market&event_id=100597\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/11\/event-featured-the-lodge-holiday-market-1793895692-611x600.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\">Sun, Nov 22 @ 12:00 pm<\/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:\/\/ksleawoodweb.myvscloud.com\/webtrac\/web\/search.html?display=detail&FMID=53878848&Module=AR&_csrf_token=ca720J6M6Y021G362C352N4G563X5F50194Q3S584Q1G5X635H4U706X475S59176T3P5W516S5O4V5A6O195H4O4X5M076S5T4E4C016N4N446I0F5D4H564P6G5P4D6C\" 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>Get ready for the season's greetings in this festive indoor shopping experience, featuring local businesses, boutiques, artisans and specialty vendors!

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
