Stop by to meet a new Kansas City artist each weekend in October for Gallery V’s Saturday Sidewalk Series. Watch artists in-action. SAT., OCT. 10 from 1:00 - 4:00 features “PICKIN’ ‘N WEAVIN’,” a loom weaving demo by Jim Cogswell, along with his extra perk of live song and guitar-pickin’ fun.

Not just a hobbyist, Jim has been weaving for 45 years! You’ll note the craftsmanship in the various woven works on display. Commissioned orders available. Learn about weaving as an art form. See how the loom works. Discover what basic weaving is and what you can do beyond the basics.

Jim wears many artistic hats. A self-taught musician and singer, he nevertheless, has been a featured guest at Kansas City’s FRINGE FEST. Known for his storytelling style and engagement with the crowd, you’ll enjoy his feel-good performance of songs by The Beatles, John Lennon, Otis Redding, Bruce Springstein, Jim Croce, Elvis Presley and more.

Take in the fresh-air outdoors, wear face mask coverings, observe social distancing practices and ENJOY!
