Michael Bushnell, publisher of THE NORTEAST NEWS will be the speaker at the premiere of the "1st Thursday" Northeast Literature and Art Series at Kafe Kiskeya, 3226 E. 12th Street in Historic Northeast. Bushnell will speak at 7 P.M., Thursday evening December 6 on "The History of the Northeast News" and on his acclaimed newspaper feature "Postcards from Old Kansas City". Copies of his book will be available for purchase.
Paintings by Erlene Flowers will also be on exhibit that evening. Erlene currently resides in Lee's Summit, but has traveled to Mexico where she studied and toured extensively. She has also traveled through Africa and Europe. She has been fascinated with spirituality and religions of the world. Often, her inspiration comes from exposure to the many religions of the world as she seeks truth in her paintings. She loves watercolor for directness and purity. She appreciates acrylic and the feel that this paint gives to the subjects that she paints.
Ideas for speakers and artists for future 1st Thursday events are being accepted. Other Northeast writers and artists and the general public are invited to attend these special events.
Kafe Kiskeya will be open from 6 to 10 P.M. on all 1st Thursday events. For more info, email kafekiskeya@hotmail.com or call 816.914.5096.
