Leedy-Voulkos Art Center

 Today I did one of the adventurer's email suggestions for Women's History Month.  I went to the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center.  I got there before they opened so I walked around to explore more.  



The gallery is located in this group of building.  There are actually several.


Mural


J Rieger Mural


The Western Auto Sign


The Liquid Carbonic Building.


It's on the National Register of Historic Places


Important Mural


I was in the Crossroads District


Parking Lot Art


I didn't even see this at first.  Pole twisting into the tree


This is on the Mid-America Arts Alliance Front.  From what I was reading it represents women.


Another Mural


More parking lot art


Some of the original Train Depots


Train Depot


Train Depot


There is a train running by but that is the back of Union Station

By now the gallery had opened so I went in.  Most of these were for sale.




I loved these one fashion ones



I had to take a picture.  These are I think 2" boxes.  Painted white with a gold block.  $75 each


I liked this one but not sure what you would do with it


Look at this necklace


I walked back to my car and noticed Town-Topic was a block away.  It's been around Kansas City for 85 years.  It was lunch time so I decided to try one.  The inside is a counter diner.  I got a cheeseburger for $5.25.  It was good.  

Tomorrow I will be posting the rest of the Sculpture Garden.  I have big plans - I will be buying a trash can.  Not to worry I will take a picture.  I also have 3 bags to take to the thrift store.  Slowly I'm getting through all my stuff.

Until tomorrow.
