Greg's Upcoming Art Events

I've got exciting news to share about three upcoming exhibits in which some of my watercolors have been selected. If you are in the Kansas City Area, I hope that you can visit some of the exhibits. Here is the information:

Prairie Village "State of the Arts" annual exhibit
September 10th through November 2nd
Prairie Village City Hall
7700 Mission Rd.
Prairie Village, KS

Opening Reception is September 13 from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm (FYI, I will be out of town and will not be at the reception.)
IMPORTANT: There is a People's Choice Award. Voting for it is September 10 through 13 with voting closing at 6:45 pm on the 13th. If you are able to visit City Hall before voting ends, the "Venetian Canal" watercolor is my recommendation for your vote. Many thanks in advance if you are able to vote.

The two paintings selected are:


Cape d'Or - Bay of Fundy
Nova Scotia, Canada
2022 watercolor by
Gregory E. larson


Venetian Canal
Venice, Italy
2022 watercolor by
Gregory E. Larson

Visions of the Flint Hills Exhibit
October 2nd through December 13th
Buttonwood Art Space
3013 Main St.
Kansas City, MO 64108

Opening reception is Friday October 6th, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Awards are usually announced at 6:30 pm.

The painting selected is "Saffordville Relic," which I think will garner a lot of attention since it is one of the few pieces of art that is a structure. Most of the exhibited paintings have prairie scenes.

Chase County, Kansas

Art on Oak
October 6th, 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
October 7th 10:00 am to 4:00 pm (my recommendation is to visit on Saturday the 7th. It is less crowded than the Friday opening,)
Second Presbyterian Church 318 E. 55th St.
Kansas City, MO 64113

This has been a popular exhibit in the Brookside Area of Kansas City. There will be 30 to 40 artists with space. Artists are encouraged to sell paintings, prints, notecards, etc.
This year I will have a selection of original paintings, small prints, and boxed notecards of six different paintings. Here is a sampling of two of them:

St. Michel Eglise
Chamonix, France
2018 watercolor by
Gregory E. Larson

Pink Lilies
Singapore Flower Dome
2023 watercolor by
Gregory E. larson


I hope you are able to visit one or all of the exhibits. I'll look forward to visiting with those who come.
Sincerely,
Greg
