What's new with Eclectics Artists?

Susan Speck participated in the St. James Court Art Fair in Louisville the first weekend of Ocotber. After a long drive and several small mishaps, all turned out well. She nearly sold out of pottery and is now has work on display in the Swanson-Reed Gallery in Louisville. Susan also has had work in several exhibits...one in Chicago and another in the Detroit area.

Susan will be selling her work during the KC Clay Guild Holiday Pottery Tour and Sale, December 5 & 6 at the KC Clay Guild. Shown above are some little cupcake boxes that are now glazed, fired and available at Eclectics. Aren't they sweet?

Join Us for Night at the Movies

Please join us for a retrospective look at some truly entertaining works of art by the beloved Kathy Ruth Neal. Kathy Ruth was a wood carver and described her work as "vignettes of American life: events of the day, at the movies, the circus, or politics." Although Neal has recently passed away, her work carries exciting life that continues to inspire us. Eclectics Gallery was enhanced through having this talented artist show at our shop for many years, and now we would like to invite you to a look back at some of the brilliant movie-themed carvings that Kathy Ruth brought to life. Help us remember Kathy Ruth Neal's wonderful sense of humor and creative spirit displayed through her extraordinary art. We celebrate this productive artistic life and ask you to come, see, and be dazzled! Please join us at Eclectis Friday November 6th, 5 to 8 p.m. We have been so inspired by Kathy Ruth and know that you will be too!

The Color of the Month

The color of the month certainly is orange. But orange is not just for Halloween. Just look at this adorable teapot and the little pincushion. Perfect all year 'round.

The Perfect Teacher Gift

These adorable little pins are the perfect Halloween gift for any teacher or friend. I can't believe all the cool new things that are showing up at Eclectics. If you haven't been in for a while you really need to stop by and check out the holiday goodies.

A Toast to Eclectics

Here is a toast to Eclectics for being voted in the top 5 for Best Arts and Crafts in the Kansas City area. There were 11,629 insider voters in the 2009 contest hosted by KMBC-TV. Thanks for the votes.

New Glass Barrettes

Carol Cole just delivered some pretty new glass barrettes to Eclectics. So sweet.

Original Day of the Dead Painting

These little original oil paintings were created by Eclectics member Kathy Gray. These beauties were painted on canvas then tacked to brightly painted, recycled lumber. You will love these skeleton ladies in brights and metallics and the little kitty too.
