Art Opening: Dale Grosbach


Dale Grosbach is a consultant by trade but he will tell you that his true passions can be found in both his family and the photographs that he captures. On Tuesday, August 7th, the Gladstone Arts Commission along with the Gladstone Community Center will be hosting an opening for Dale Grosbach's photography work. Dale will be exhibiting for the first time and has chosen a wide variety of subject matter to reveal his talent. His eye has captured stunning images from all over the world, including memorable images of Kansas City's landscapes. If you enjoy crisp and beautiful photographs... you will love this show! 
     Please join us for an evening of art connecting with community. The opening will be held from 5:30-7:30 PM at the Gladstone Community Center located at 6901 N. Holmes.

If you have any questions please contact artsinfo@gladstone.mo.us
