“ART INSTALLATION:
THE PERSONAL TOUCH, AND WHY IT MATTERS
We bought a wind sculpture from Leopold Gallery. We knew the gallery and were long-standing customers; we had known the owner for decades--since before he started the gallery. But unlike Leopold's many commercial customers, we had never purchased anything that needed to be installed. The wind sculpture is lovely, whether the wind is blowing or not. But this review is about the installation.
Paul Dorrell is the gallery owner. I was not surprised when it was Paul who showed up to do the installation by himself, but I was pleased.
The size of the sculpture required the digging of a large hole, the placement of the shaft that holds up the sculpture, fixing the shaft so it was perfectly vertical, mixing cement and pouring it around the shaft, waiting several hours for the cement to set, and then attaching and testing what I will call the "blades" of the sculpture.
Paul's gallery is in Kansas City, Missouri; we live in Lawrence, Kansas--an hour away. Paul made the trip to Lawrence, accomplished all of the tasks up to pouring the cement, then made good use of the time needed for the cement to cure to visit a friend in town! He came back a few hours later to complete the installation. When he was finished it was perfect.
Because we know Paul, and because he is a fine conversationalist, I was able to catch up with him and the gallery when he was doing the installation. All of that--observing how he did the work as well as the conversation--was great fun.
We now have a wind sculpture in our front yard. Thanks to Paul, it is not only beautiful but is also beautifully--and personally--installed. And our relationship with Leopold gallery is even stronger than before.”

“This was my first time at the Inter Urban Art House. I was VERY impressed. This is a unique space for not only art, but also for small gatherings. This place has so much personality.”
“I absolutely loved this place. Beka was so amazing super friendly made it very comfortable and not to mention did an outstanding job. I would recommend her to anyone and for all my future tattoos I will be coming back to her. She takes into consideration the aging of tattoo and has a great artistic view and ideas. I would say she is a perfect tattoo artist.”
“They did a great job framing something for me. They have a huge selection of frame styles to choose from as well as a lot of options for different budgets. I even requested a change in how the piece would be mounted after putting in my initial order, and they were very gracious in accommodating and making the change.”
“Simple and easy planning process, and perfect spot for a wedding!! We loved the cozy loft vibe paired with the sweeping views of our favorite city ? the bridal/groom rooms, elevator, parlor, alley, and venue itself were all the perfect backdrop for so many special moments!!!”
“Mark took 15 years of abstract ideas, condensed it down into something that checked all my boxes and delivered an outstanding idea that perfectly reflected what I was looking for. Awesome shop full of talented artists who care about their craft. Great experience”
“One of the best galleries and definitely my favorite. There are always plenty of choices from various artists…a very well curated mix. And, the owners are delightful.”
“The Arts Asylum is the perfect venue providing an intimate theater atmosphere.I had the pleasure this evening to attend the opening night of the play, 'Price Of Bail', written by award winning playwright Olivia Hill.This intelligent, gritty, hard-hitting play will make you yell bravo, encore, and applaud until your hands hurt.”
“This a fantastic, new, and locally owned gallery that has recently opened up in the burgeoning area around KU Med. A wonderful and intimate space that has an exquisite eye for art and artists of all mediums. Lee, the owner and attendant, is a wonderful ambassador for the arts bringing both warmth and knowledge to her gallery. To fans of art at any level, I strongly encourage you to go and check out this place early and often, as I'm sure it'll become an institution in the Kansas City artist community.”
“Great local nonprofit arts organization offering varied programs and exhibitions to enhance the local arts community. Main fundraiser is an Art Auction annually in late February. Always a great opportunity to purchase local art!”
“Wonderful experience dealing with Cerbra. Purchased a Sawada serigraph. Had a couple of questions. Response almost instant. It arrived quickly. Packing was amazing. Print was as described. I can't thank them enough for their service. I would do business here again. Thanks Cerbera.”
“In spite of it small space, its services to the artistic community reach out to all the Northeast and beyond. Its walls are covered with paintings from local Latin American artists at very accessible prices. It has non stop artistic activities for young and old. It is the right place to get to know the local latino artists, to make friends and enjoy the festivities of different Latin American countries. The owner, Phillys, is very kind and generous with her time, constantly creating activities to engage the artists and the community.”
“Lots of little galleries in this space. Saw some incredible shows when I went for Firat Friday recently (October 2024). This place has been around for ever, and always a must-see for First Fridays.”
“Wow! Mary Kaye is fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure my projects were perfect. And she was very conscientious of costs based on the type of art I wanted framed. It felt like I was working with a good friend from the moment I walked in for my first time. Highly recommend!!”
“Kit is absolutely the BEST stylist! Whether using color, cutting hair and/or styling she always does a great job. Kit has cut my hair for 20+ years. She has moved a few times throughout the city and I always travel with her! Thank you, Kit!Services: Hair highlighting”
“MOD is always a destination for me when I'm in KC. The gallery provides an insightful interactive experience with its openings and first Friday events. The live DJ compliments the art and exuberant patrons of this special place.”
“Bought earrings and talked books with the funny, warm, and smart woman who is moving to Mississippi. (Can't go wrong with Pat Conroy's "Beach Music.") Thank you for a great shopping experience.”
“My friend and I attended date night and we had so much fun. Date night was $100 total, ($50 each). The instructors were friendly and patient. We were able to create a piece each and paint it afterwards. They have more information available on their website. They have a small parking are right across the street, street parking is also available-both are free.”
