WaterPartners’ World Water Day Art Show and Sale

Going to Kansas City? If you’ll be there anytime this month, be sure to check out WaterPartners’ art show and sale at the Crosstown Station (1522 McGee Street), Kansas City, MO. The show began March 4, and will be on display throughout the month. Artwork will be on sale Thursday, March 12, from 6 – 10 p.m.

WaterPartners is an international nonprofit organization that envisions “the day when everyone in the world can take a safe drink of water.” Through “innovative financing,” WaterPartners helps communities in developing nations gain access to clean water for drinking and install proper sanitation methods. Sixteen artists from Springfield, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Oklahoma City have pooled their talents to raise funds for WaterPartners’ projects.

Thursday’s WaterPartners’ World Water Day event will include music by the Barclay Martin Ensemble and Oriole Post. The suggested donation is $10 per person. During the sale, food and drink will also be available for purchase. To reserve a ticket, email info@water.org.

Visit the WaterPartners website for more information about their work around the world, and about the Kansas City World Water Day event.
