Kansas City, KS — Back in September, we partnered with EPIC Clay Studio in Strawberry Hill KCK to work on a community art project. We asked our supporters to paint tiles for us when they came to the pharmacy for a tour, and then we asked community members to paint the rest of the tiles at the September Third Friday Artwalk. People of all ages painted tiles, and even Mayor Garner painted a tile. We reminded anyone who said “I’m not artistic” that EPIC stands for Every Person Is Creative.
The end result of this community art project is now on display in the pharmacy. It’s a mosaic of talent and creativity that the lovely people at Epic put together for us, including hand-carving our logo into it. We are honored to have such wonderful neighbors who support our vision and mission of making good health accessible to all.
Pharmacy of Grace has long believed that art is an important part of our vision. Our organization’s Mission Statement in Support of Art:
“In line with Pharmacy of Grace’s values of honoring the dignity of all people and improving the health of our community, we also want to lift the spirits of all those who enter our building. We know of no better way to do that than by sharing art that brightens someone’s day. Our pharmacy’s vision is to provide hope, often at dark times. Art often has that impact as well. Therefore, we strive to support local artists and the arts by highlighting their work in our pharmacy.”
Thank you Epic and all our neighbors/friends at the art walk who helped make this happen. Stop by the pharmacy to come see it for yourself!
Epic Arts community art project has been installed in the Pharmacy of Grace lobby.
