We are going to be in Joplin on May 10th and again on May 18th and 19th and were most disappointed to discover that there will be NO exhibits whatsoever available on any of those dates. Their most recent exhibits ended in April and on May 4 and they said that nothing at all will be available to see until May 20th. That seems like a very long time to be without any exhibits at all.

We ended up in the art show by default. We where lost. The desk lady not only told us about her own place, but told us about 2 other things we might be interested in. A quilt show and Grand falls. The show in the place was wonderful, diverse in it's medium (ceramics this weekend) and a fun 'default'. One of our funnest stops all weekend, and a wonderful desk lady. Thank you to her and kudos to SPIVA.

Spiva had a powerful showing that portrayed the Joplin tornado in 2011. It had positive imagery, as well as, flashbacks to that horrific day. That exhibit was a way of remembering what we lost, but grateful for what we had. I look forward to all the up coming openings.
