Hey, Manhattan!

 

Attention, Manhattan-area folks! I will be at the Strecker-Nelson Art Gallery, 406 1/2 Poyntz, on Friday, May 27, from 5 – 7 p.m., signing my book about what it’s like to live in Kansas – Flyover People: Life on the Ground in a Rectangular State.

I would love to meet you and hear your thoughts about Kansas.

And – you must stop by just to see the art here. Kansas art. It’s the Kansas Masters Invitational.

Look at this list of artists…

Eric Abraham Michael Albrechtsen Marc Berghaus Rita Blitt Jane Booth James Borger Vernon Brejcha Kim Casebeer Louis Copt Chris Wolf Edmonds Phil Epp Connie Ernatt John Ernatt Pete Felten Mark Flickinger Ralph Fontenot Tim Forcade Joelle Ford Linda Ganstrom

Sheldon Ganstrom Steven Graber Hugh Greer Lisa Grossman Anthony Benton Gude Jon Havener Stan Herd John Hulsey Yoshiro Ikeda Michael Jilg Stephen Johnson Dan Kircheffer Cally Krallman Kathleen Kuchar Janet Kuemmerlein Margie Kuhn John Kuhn Oscar Larmer Judith Mackey

Patrick Martin Danny Meisinger James Munce Doug Osa Barbara Waterman Peters Larry Peters Eliot Pujol Jim Richardson Matthew Richter Sonie Joi Ruffin Marjorie Schick Larry Schwarm Gordon Sherman Roger Shimomura Kevin Sink Brian Slawson Richard Slimon Guinotte Wise

I’m told there will be refreshments available on Friday, 5 – 7 p.m., courtesy of gallery owners, Jay and Barbara Nelson, so please drop by, say hi, purchase a Flyover People book if you want one, and look at the fabulous art on display.

The Kansas Masters Invitational show’s curator is Don Lambert.

And, speaking of Don Lambert, I am excited to be scheduled back-to-back with him at a Savor Kansas event coming up on June 18 ( 10 a.m) – in the Kansas House of Representatives Chamber. I will be reading from my book and Don will portray Kansas Capitol artist John Steuart Curry. That will be very cool. Good times.

Anyway, THIS FRIDAY…. Strecker-Nelson Art Gallery, book-signing, 5-7 p.m. Hope to see you there!
