Please make plans to enjoy the Lawrence Art Party on this Final Friday, June 29! We will have a special performance by an amazing all-female band, Holmes Street.

We are showcasing a wonderful group of artists this month, including Julie Blichmann, Bob Buchanan, Traci Bunkers, Wesley Casey, John Clayton, Becky Collier, Dave DeHetre, Dan Dishman, John Geery, Emily Johnson, Megan Kunz, Jonathan Marzette, Landon Merrill, Tony Peterson, George Paley, Trae Rickford, Wyatt Rogers, Jen Unekis, Lesa Weller, and Tammy West. Samples of some of their work are shown below. More can be seen at the Facebook event site http://tinyurl.com/lapjune2012

The Lawrence Art Party has been held every month since the beginning of Lawrence Final Fridays. Our goals are to host a free, fun party for the community; provide a venue for both the performing and visual arts, and give visual artists an opportunity to show, share, and sell their art. The Lawrence Art Party is sponsored by the Science, Art, and Technology (STArt) Alliance. The STArt Alliance is dedicated to increasing the Lawrence and regional focus on creativity, innovation, and the arts; and contributing to local economic and community development. I would be pleased to assist members of the press who would like early access to our gallery, more information, or assistance arranging for interviews with our artists. Just let me know what I can do to help. Thank you. Eric Kirkendall, STArt Alliance 785-260-0083 Kirkendall1@gmail.com
