Being a student at KCAI, I have been to my share of galleries in town, but last night was the first night I actually ventured to the Hilliard Gallery. Kansas City Cabaret was hosting their Beginning Burlesque Recital, of five fresh ladies that just graduated a burlesque class taught my the lovely Ms. Mary Magdelene(the dancing queen.) Besides the girls doing so well for their first burlesque show, the gallery space was really nice too. They had a really good sound system and wonderful video projections playing trippy spliced Betty Page videos. All of the artwork in the gallery is for sale, too! I guess the owner rents the space out for basically any event(wedding receptions, parties, burlesque recitals, art shows, art performances, you name it…) I think it’s really cool that you can host basically any event in a space filled with amazing local art!
