THE GIFT SHOP
The Leedy-Voulkos Art Center Shop blurs the line between a gallery setting and retail shop.
The Leedy-Voulkos Art Center Shop hosts a variety of work from nearly 40 artists – most of whom are from the Kansas City area. The intent is for the shop to be accessible in both format and price. We seek to promote the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center Shop and the Crossroads district as a shopping destination, both during the First Friday openings and beyond.

Kari Heybrock
Kari Heybrock, a local glass bead maker has been melting glass and creating “wearable” art jewelry for over 20 years in her Hype Park Studio.
Kari uses colorful Venetion glass rods and ancient glass blowing techniques to create every bead used in her designs.
“I love being able to create jewelry that will be worn with the clothes people are actually wearing. I can make a great casual piece for a football jersey or a stunning bridal set. I try to keep a pretty tight but wide color pallet so one can seamlessly add to their collection over the years.”
Her other hats include raising four wildly creative, engaged and compassionate children. Playing tennis, coaching soccer and being married to an entrepreneur/artsit/physician. Life is an abundance of controlled chaos…just like creating art.
