WiNc Inclusion Center celebrates Andrew Batcheller!
Andrew Batcheller, a Kansas City native who has called Joplin his home for the last decade, classifies his work as “portraiture” using birds as analogies for the human condition. The emotional quality of his work evokes thoughtful contemplation of our own human drama. His paintings are a part of national and international collections.
Visit the featured artist gallery at the WiNc Inclusion Center to see Andrew's wonderful collection.

WiNc Live Music @ Englewood Arts Mainstage Saturday, April 8th featuring IVORY BLUE
IVORY BLUE started writing music at a very young age, creating their unique alt-rock sound, using a tape recorder to superimpose sounds that added to a song production. After starting performances in coffee shops and small venues, they immediately captured the hearts of young and old with ingeniously composed songs, powerful lyrics and began refining their performance style using digital looping pedals to stack harmonies and guitar parts live on stage, giving their solo shows the feel of a full band. In 2011, IVORY BLUE settled in Kansas City, MO and quickly began an intense regional following for their strong vocals and incisive deeply personal lyrics. After studying the craft of recording and self-producing, this amazing singer-songwriter with a passionate love for everyone struggling through life released their full-length album ‘Compound Love’
in 2022 which reached high interest with radio stations, podcasts and over 470 Spotify playlists and is played in 114 countries. After releasing their ‘Compound Love’ album, IVORY also released ‘Red Light’ and ‘Starlit Love Child’ in 2022. Both songs will be on their ‘Red Light’ album for 2023.
