ARTSPEAK RADIO is a live radio program on KKFI that airs every Wednesday from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm. Host Maria Vasquez Boyd serves up information about the visual and literary arts community including live interviews with artists, writers, and performers.
Maria talks with author Pete Dulin, Kansas City artist Donald “Scribe” Ross, musician Rich Lester, and Elizabeth Gault with Charlotte Street Foundation.
Pete Dulin-Kansas City Beer: A History of Brewing in the Heartland traces the growth of brewing in the city from the first German-style brewery opening in the mid-1850s to a modern wave of 21st century breweries. The book explores historical details of nearly 70 breweries including iconic Imperial Brewing, built in 1902 and still standing today, the reign of Muehlebach Brewing for more than 80 years, and the 26-year growth of Boulevard Brewing Company. Local and national history is interwoven into the story of the city’s evolution, including its origins as a frontier town populated by westbound immigrants, pioneers, and entrepreneurs and the Prohibition era, when “Boss” Tom Pendergast ruled the Paris of the Plains. Today, the contemporary craft beer renaissance is alive and well in Kansas City, where a dozen breweries have emerged to meet demand for fresh local beer.

For over a decade, he has also served as the artist-in residence at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri — the only position of its kind in the country. Scribe’s friendly animal characters amuse and entertain young patients in the hospital’s ambulances, planes, waiting rooms and operating theaters — making Children’s Mercy a more welcoming place to visit.
The Scribble Squad in the Weird Wild West”-Best friends Rumpus, Tai, Phil, and Phlox are thrilled for the chance to make their first real mural, but when they fall into the world of their own epic painting, they suddenly have to face down the piranha-pistol-packing Wildhares, cattlefish stampedes, and buzzing battlebees of their own creation. Even if they survive, how will they ever find their way back home?

Charlotte Street Foundation is pleased to present ¿Qué Pasa, USA?—a group exhibition curated by 2016-17 Curator-in-Residence, Lynnette Miranda. The exhibition features the work of eleven national artists that considers a broad spectrum of experiences reflecting and responding, specifically through humor, absurdity, and joy, to what it means to be a citizen in this country today. Taking its title from the late 1970s bilingual sitcom of the same name, and in the ethos of culturally specific sitcoms, the artists in this exhibition challenge dominant narratives through lightheartedness and candor to highlight nuanced experiences of difference, and expand definitions of identity in relationship to our American citizenry.
Informed by their lived experience in the U.S., each artist in the exhibition presents a different approach to addressing and deepening identity. Through abstracting and translating cultural symbols and materials they reflect on the “Other” in a society that values and privileges Whiteness above all. From video installation to site-specific fiber works, the exhibition weaves a range of narratives together to complicate our collective story.
