For us, it was the tulips The Everyman is planting in Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison's current exhibition at the Nelson Atkins here in Kansas City, MO. It's a show not to be missed with a Gallery Walk next week....1/9/09.
Tulips on Troost aims to change the face of Troost Avenue by planting one million tulips along the Avenue in honor of an early Kansas City leader, Dr. Benoist Troost. Through this mission, we hope to inspire and motivate the citizens of Kansas City to recognize the value of neighborhood capital improvements and beautification in some of the city's most under-served neighborhoods. Tulips are just on the surface—our deep-rooted goal is to use a beautiful, accessible thing like a tulip to represent positive change on Troost and to let the city know that Troost is worth our time, efforts, and resources.
