First Fridays have expanded beyond the Crossroads. Now many of Kansas City’s fine art galleries that are not located in the Crossroads Arts District near downtown, also will be open for visitors on the first Friday of every month.

That includes the Leopold Gallery at 324 W. 63^rd St. in Kansas City’s Brookside neighborhood, which on Friday, June 4 from 6-9 p.m. will feature photographs that Luke Shelton took in Haiti following the earthquake while he was on a relief mission with the One5 Foundation.

Luke has an impressive ability to brilliantly capture the spirit and resilience of the Haitians, especially the children. Sales of Luke’s photographs will go to support the One5 Foundation’s ongoing effort to provide health care to Haiti’s people.

We wish to thank Leopold Gallery owner Paul Dorrell for this opportunity to keep the Haiti disaster in front of the public and allowing One5 to expand our support base in our community.

We hope to see you at the Leopold Gallery on the evening of June 4! Read more about it on Facebook.
