The Second Friday Art Walk in downtown Kansas City, Kan., is heating up with exciting exhibits to explore during an evening out. An exhibit at the YWCA of Greater Kansas City will highlight Chinese history.
In a rollicking exhibit at Urban Culture Project’s Paragraph gallery, site-specific installations by artists Emily Sall and Rebecca Ward intensify awareness of space through the use of physically flat materials. Kate Hackman, associate director of the Charlotte Street Foundation (which runs the UCP program), saw similarities in the artists’ works and invited them to spend a week executing the installations for this show.

Self-taught Kansas City artist Doug Schwietert said he never drives past a thrift store without stopping. Indeed, his art looks like a result of decades of accumulating odds and ends from flea markets and picking up castoffs from the street. A collection of peculiar assemblages by Schwietert is on display at the Late Show in an exhibit called “New Tomorrow.” The title refers to three of the 25 works in the gallery. Beyond that, it’s open season for subject matter.
