Friday-Night Lights

Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, apparently had some leftover free time on her hands because she was also the goddess of the arts. On the third Friday of each month, she smiles upon the fair city of Independence as businesses in the Englewood Station Arts District, along four commercial blocks of Winner Road, throw open their doors for a monthly art crawl. So if your appetite for boxed wine and paintings isn’t satisfied by the area’s First or Second Friday events, here’s one more (deity-sanctioned) option. See, for example, works by the artists-in-residence at the Green Dog Gallery (10922 East Winner Road) and the monthly exhibit at the Stonebridge Coffee House and Art Gallery (10914 Winner Road, 816-252-0668). Other participating galleries and businesses include the Winner Road Gallery (10916 East Winner Road, 816-461-1717), the B-Vogue Salon (11100 East Winner Road, 816-833-7770) and the Frick Modern Art Gallery (10918 Winner Road, 816-461-6230).
