You’re invited to join fellow Arts Alive participants to celebrate the ART OF THE CAR on Thursday, January 25 at the Kansas City Automotive Museum in Olathe, KS. Knowledgeable docents, music, and dinner will make this an evening to remember. The Kansas City Automotive Museum is widely recognized in the car community and has grown since its founding in 2014 to become a popular meeting place for historians, club meetings, special events, in addition to car enthusiasts. Its current home has room to display 30 autos and highlights significant Kansas City automotive history such as 1965 Le Mans winner Masten Gregory (the “Kansas City Flash”), the Ford Winchester Plant, and Greenlease Cadillac, with a special exhibit that changes monthly. Expert staff will open eyes and hearts to the aesthetics and vision of these rolling sculptures. They will also explore the history behind auto design, with a focus on Kansas City’s role in it.

There’s plenty of free parking, so arrive at 5:30 p.m. and check in

When you’re not touring the exhibits and the other informative displays, enjoy drinks and barbecue catered by The Rub, all to an acoustic set from Legerdemain (Marus Rattler, Daniel Yung, and Imani Mason), a steel pan led multi-genre fusion band with a jazz and funk backbone, second place winner in the Blues Foundation’s 2023 International Blues Challenge held in Kansas City.
