An exhibition preview introduces two complementary shows across the galleries. In the Main Gallery, Edge Effect brings together Kevin Kelly, Justin Korver, and Tim Stone to probe the meeting point of suburbia and the rural fringe.

IVORY BLUE crafts heartfelt tracks that fuse alternative pop, rock, and electronic elements. After winning the Next2Rock competition in 2017 and a season with a major label, she returned to independence, pairing polished production with personal narratives that can land as gently as an acoustic ballad or soar into a synth-lifted anthem. Lucy Gray stepped onto festival stages at age seven while studying both classical and fiddle violin. Now an award-winning writer and composer, she has earned multiple Missouri University COMP honors, national recognition from ASCAP in 2025 and 2026, and support from Heartland Song Network to record her debut single in 2024. Her recent release purple skies highlights a voice that bridges pop and classical influences. Haley Burke is a Kansas City guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter whose rootsy blend spans blues, rock, country, and Americana. Her résumé includes appearances at King Biscuit Blues Festival, Merle Jam at Knuckleheads, and the KCBS Women in Blues Showcase, participation in Pinetop Perkins Foundation programs, and representing the Kansas City Blues Society in the youth division at the 2026 International Blues Challenge. Her sets feature expressive guitar work and a vivid stage presence. Miki P, a Kansas City-based artist performing professionally for over a decade, writes melodic, imaginative songs that speak plainly from the heart. Listeners often hear echoes of 70s singer-songwriters like Carole King and Stevie Nicks alongside 90s and 2000s pop touchstones such as Alanis Morissette, The Cranberries, and Sheryl Crow. At 20, Kansas City songwriter Brooke Mertz centers authenticity in her music. She has opened for Forrest Blakk, Tre Mutava, and KAYKO from American Idol, and has shared the stage with Haven Madison while she was on the road with Stacy Ryan. Her catalog includes the single strings and a live EP, my side of the story, recorded in New York. Kristin Hamilton draws on a childhood spent on a Savannah, Missouri farm and a household soundtrack of 1970s country, rock, and gospel. Her sound lands in folk country with a bluegrass shimmer, shaped by stories of loss, faith, love, and a spirit of fun. Formerly part of Under The Big Oak Tree, she performs solo, pairs up with her daughter Lucy Gray, leads the honky-tonk outfit Kristin Hamilton & The Heat, and appears with the folk quartet Primrose Junction. After three albums with her former band, she released her first solo record, Touch Of Blue, in 2022. Together, these artists deliver a program of original songs and heartfelt vocals that shift from intimate to anthemic.
