Alice Thorson at the KC Star previews America: Now and Here:
The epicenter of May First Fridays is the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center, where the New York-based “America: Now and Here” project will present events that aim to initiate a conversation about America.
It’s a mammoth production, involving local and national artists, poets, actors, filmmakers and musicians. There’s also an emerging artist exhibit at the Cocoon Gallery and a performance by DJ Spooky during Friday’s opening festivities. The Leedy-Voulkos gallery is at 2012 Baltimore Ave. For specifics, go tohttp://kansascity.americanowandhere.org.
