Wire KC Weekender

FRIDAY
Starting August 31st through October 26th we'll be hosting "The Landing Pad," a special reception EVERY Friday for Open Spaces KC from 6PM with last call at 1AM. We'll have some of the best DJs, bands, and art from around the country here at 18th St. Union. Your dance floor awaits... 
As you can assume from the title, the vinyasa class is a bit more fast-paced than & a killer workout. 60-minutes of moving and breathing with intention, all while hip-hop/R&B songs play in the background. AKA everything you love about yoga, but with better background music! Plus, as always we end the night with Happy Hour. 
Learn how to taste and evaluate both white and red wines. We will discuss the basics of wine making, a bit of wine history and practice how to taste a range of wines. If you are just getting into wine or you want to brush up your knowledge, this class is for you. 
Join us for a summer night of networking and music, food, and wine curated by Kansas City's best. Invite your colleagues to wind down another successful week overlooking the Kansas City skyline. Mingle with the Chamber's newest Ambassadors, our Executive Team, and professionals and business owners from all corners of the Metro!

Welcome to The Black Market @ Uzazi Village! We are a collective of Black artisans, craftmakers, agrarian stewards, growers and Afro-artists. We will have our foods, crafts and art works available for sale on the first and third Saturdays through October.

Come out for the largest Poetry Event in the world.  Poets in Autumn is a production that mergers ART + THEATRE + POETRY.  

Come experience what many people have called "The best show in the country".  
We are proud to announce our Open Spaces rumbas at Swope Park throughout the month of September and October. Afro-Cuban rumbas have been occurring on Sunday afternoons at Loose Park since the early 1980s after the late Cuban musician Agustín Romero-Diaz immigrated to Kansas City. Since his passing in 2014, Miko Spears, Bird Fleming, Jessica Ayala, Les Izmore and Brad Williams have kept the flame burning. The Collective is coming to Swope Park’s The Village in four programs fusing rumba, blues, and Motown. Family free event!

Next Level Live is doing an exclusive pop-up production to honor the “Queen of Soul”, Aretha Franklin. The exclusive element is added because the featured singer is the world renowned Gospel Singer Chrystal Rucker. She is known for singing gospel hits like “You deserve” and the remake of “Somewhere over the rainbow”. There are also great similarities between the two. They are both daughters of world renowned preachers. They both started singing in their fathers churches. Most of all, they both of God given unforgetable voices that leaves people speechless. Come and witness pure greatness.
