“Arts Or Crafts,” which will be directed by Kansas City director and One Time Productions co-founder Bess Wallerstein, is the first full-length play by Rob Roznowski and consists of a collection of original scenes ranging from the hilarious to the disturbing, with scenarios that include cavemen playing rock, paper, scissors and a rapper's explicit lyrics getting banned from the radio.

"Ritual Lights," an exhibition of work by Amanda Martinez (senior, painting), will be on display at the KCAI Crossroads Gallery from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 2, 9, 16. An opening reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2. Martinez said of the work, "Light can be a source of comfort or discomfort, as well as an aid or hindrance. When harnessed by humans, it becomes a powerful centerpiece in rituals and as decorum in the home." In this exhibition, Martinez‘s chandeliers and candelabras "exaggerate the history and attachment of light and decoration."

Public discussion in conjunction with the exhibition "Black Is, Black Ain't"
H&R Block Artspace at KCAI
16 E. 43rd St.
A public discussion will be held in conjunction with the exhibition "Black Is, Black Ain’t" currently on view at the Artspace. The exhibit confronts issues surrounding the concept of "race."
This program seeks to create a dialog stemming from the exhibition and current events and will be facilitated by Janet Brown Moss, Lewis Diuguid and Artspace staff members.
Taking its title from Ralph Ellison’s "Invisible Man," "Black Is, Black Ain’t," explores a shift in the rhetoric of race from an earlier emphasis on inclusion to a present moment where racial identity is being simultaneously rejected and retained. The exhibition brings together works by artists whose work together examines a moment where the cultural production of so-called “blackness” is concurrent with efforts to make race socially and politically irrelevant.
Seating is limited. RSVP by Thursday, Oct. 1 to mschonhoff@kcai.edu.

"Creative Defiance: The Art of the Holocaust" by Milton Katz, Ph.D.
7 p.m. Oct. 22
KCAI Northland Campus for Special Programs
1801 N.W. Platte Rd., Ste. 275
Riverside, MO 64150
Art of the Holocaust demands answers to questions that arrest the heart and soul and challenge our basic assumptions about ourselves and the human experience.
Focusing primarily on the art produced by the prisoners of the ghettos and concentration camps from 1940–1945 under impossible conditions, often at the risk of their lives, Professor Milton S. Katz will present a slide lecture discussing 50 evocative works created by 25 international artists from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Germany, France, Holland, Italy and the Soviet Union.
In this lecture Dr. Katz explores how Holocaust art functions not only as witness but also as a means of spiritual and psychological resistance, an assertion of humanity and an affirmation of life.
Lectures are free and open to the public. Call 816-505-1443 by Oct. 16 to RSVP for the Oct. 22 lecture.
