Happy Valentines Day!

Don't know 'bout you, but "hearts and flowers" used to bring to mind rosebuds with baby's breath, smiling cherubs, lace paper doilies, ribbons, and all things soft and feminine. Well, no longer....welcome to the 21st Century, baby!

Broken china and mirror glass still says "Love". Or perhaps it says "Love Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Be!" By Eclectics member artist, Wendy Shoufler.

Heart with spikes (a la African nail fetishes) by Beverly Mangham could be a charm against evil or it could represent how you feel after a breakup!

Paper, wire, buttons and glitter heart sends a message of "hope" with a worn, vintage feel. A great expression of a well-aged love, perhaps an anniversary message? by Robin

Love keeping you up at night? Keep the light on with this fused glass heart-nightlight. Great for a kids room or a dark corner that needs brightening up. All sizes and shapes of fused glass night lights by Jenny Isenberg.

Local stitch-maestro Andrew Johnson includes hearts in his works - from framed art to greeting cards and collage.

Nothing says LOVE more than a baby - dress yours in sweet, silk-screened onesies by Elise Keeling of Pilot Valve.

My love is a red, red .... button!

Romanticism in the 21st Century.... "I love you, now go away!

All currently available at Eclectics Gallery, at 7015 Oak Street in Kansas City, MO. Please visit us Mon-Sat from 10 - 6.

The Glow Show

Eclectics' first show of 2012 is Friday, January 27 from 5-8 pm - The Glow Show!

Eclectics has been through our annual cleaning and reorganizing (Thanks for letting us close up for a couple weeks in January....we missed you too!)

We are now open again and prepping for The Glow Show. We would LOVE to see you there....it's time to think about gifts for your Valentine. And during the dark days of winter, lights and glowing things bring comfort and cheer to us all.

We also welcome two new member artists: Judy Macy (aprons, baby items, other fiber arts) and Gale Schlagel (jewelry). 

Come by anytime. We love seeing you all. Thank you for your support over the years.

Jury Duty!

There is still time to call and schedule yourself for Saturday, January 14th when the members of Eclectics will meet to jury new member applications.

If you would like us to consider some of our art - especially if you would like to join Eclectics - please call us today. Actually, call Wendy at (816) 820-4945. She will call to schedule you.

What's a "jury"? Basically, when art is "juried" it is evaluated for inclusion in a gallery or art show. At Eclectics, it means we (the current members) look at items to decide if they are 1)sellable, 2) unique, 3) well-made, 4) hand-made, and 5) not duplicating something we already have.

Eclectics has built a reputation for representing artists with unique vision, who create their own work, and who are local to the KC area. We are not looking for "conventional" or "cute". And we love when artists re-use materials, recycle, repurpose and go green.

We are currently closed for cleaning and reorganizing. See you next week!!
