The month of July brings two powerhouse ceramicists to the Bunker Center for the Arts. Keira Sunshine Norton Of Kansas City and Luke Huling of Bloomington, Indiana are bringing the fruits of their labor to the East Crossroads. Both artists share a common bond from the University of Indiana MFA program and an uncommon talent for pairing representational forms with abstract concepts and emotion, resulting in an arresting gallery presentation. Viewing these pieces will elicit an emotional response from the viewer, no matter how jaded.

Luke Huling
Show title- "Disguise / Divulge"
Medium- Ceramic Sculpture

"I am interested in the way we as humans portray ourselves; the facade that is constructed to conceal our emotions and genuine thoughts. My work aims to grasp this feeling of suppression and detachment of emotions, and unmask these stressors, memories, or afflictions that we keep hidden from those around us. Through the pairing of objects, both abstract and representational, I lead my viewers to a through the looking glass approach of understanding this innate concealment of emotions. I strive to create a sense of initial uneasiness that can sometimes be interpreted as dark humor. However, it is the goal of the work to elicit a visceral reaction from the viewers, thus provoking a more introspective dialogue."

Keira Sunshine Norton
Show title- "More Flowers"
Medium- Ceramic Sculpture

" My sculptures combine the supple forms and playful gestures of dolphins and whales with seductive nude human figures. They are a vehicle for my expression of ideas around the fluidity of gender, sexual attraction, power dynamics, and beauty. These characters have evolved over time from many sources, creating openings for me into the worlds of folklore, popular culture, and art history. My specific influences include tales of mermaids from the Amazon, classic pin-up girls, and the nudes of Ingres and Manet. Creating hybrids gives me the opportunity to be both formally rigorous and playful. I am also inspired by my desire to create smooth, voluptuous forms and surfaces from the raw materials of clay and glaze."

Fantasmo vs. the Vampire Women is the latest audio theater adventure by Right Between the Ears. An evil coven of vampires is out to destroy the world...or possibly just Raytown. KC's own real-life masked avenger Fantasmo battles the sexy bloodsuckers, plus lumbering robots with speech impediments, ravenous zombie hordes and mad scientists (are there any other kind in shows like this?). It's about the war between good and evil. It's about things that go bump in the night. It's about an hour.

If you haven't heard Zack Mufasa, you have been missing out. He's a perfect mix of reggae, soul and rock classics. He's an amazing musician playing lots of instruments and a mean guitar!

Inspired by the 1994 live-action animated film "The Pagemaster," "Turning the Page" depicts the story of a lonely young girl, Ricki, who after being tormented by bullies, escapes for solace in the public library. She finds herself in a world where books come to life and lead her through a series of precarious adventures! In the end, Ricki must gather her courage and stand up to her tormentors using the knowledge she has gained on her journey. Each show we will collect donations (school supplies, clothing, etc.) for Cornerstones of Care, a local foster care agency. This original full-length production was created and choreographed by Krystal Bryan.

The month of July brings two powerhouse ceramicists to the Bunker Center for the Arts. Keira Sunshine Norton Of Kansas City and Luke Huling of Bloomington, Indiana are bringing the fruits of their labor to the East Crossroads. Both artists share a common bond from the University of Indiana MFA program and an uncommon talent for pairing representational forms with abstract concepts and emotion, resulting in an arresting gallery presentation. Viewing these pieces will elicit an emotional response from the viewer, no matter how jaded.

Luke Huling
Show title- "Disguise / Divulge"
Medium- Ceramic Sculpture

"I am interested in the way we as humans portray ourselves; the facade that is constructed to conceal our emotions and genuine thoughts. My work aims to grasp this feeling of suppression and detachment of emotions, and unmask these stressors, memories, or afflictions that we keep hidden from those around us. Through the pairing of objects, both abstract and representational, I lead my viewers to a through the looking glass approach of understanding this innate concealment of emotions. I strive to create a sense of initial uneasiness that can sometimes be interpreted as dark humor. However, it is the goal of the work to elicit a visceral reaction from the viewers, thus provoking a more introspective dialogue."

Keira Sunshine Norton
Show title- "More Flowers"
Medium- Ceramic Sculpture

" My sculptures combine the supple forms and playful gestures of dolphins and whales with seductive nude human figures. They are a vehicle for my expression of ideas around the fluidity of gender, sexual attraction, power dynamics, and beauty. These characters have evolved over time from many sources, creating openings for me into the worlds of folklore, popular culture, and art history. My specific influences include tales of mermaids from the Amazon, classic pin-up girls, and the nudes of Ingres and Manet. Creating hybrids gives me the opportunity to be both formally rigorous and playful. I am also inspired by my desire to create smooth, voluptuous forms and surfaces from the raw materials of clay and glaze."
