So I will be participating in Joplin's 1st First Thursday on July 2nd. This is a new thing for Joplin. Eight years ago the powers that be started Joplin's Art Walk which was entitled Third Thursday. It was a great effort to revitalize the downtown Joplin area. It worked BUT what has evolved over the years is more of a family festival with more emphasize on outside activities as opposed to the actual art itself. This new event will concentrate on the art not bouncy houses. We hope that this will fill the need to show case all the really great artists in the Joplin area.
It would be wonderful if the art lovers of Joplin will support this event. Hope to see you there!!
