TONIGHT
.
WELCOME BACK, GOOD TO HAVE
YOU, I AM DEVELOPER.
WE CERTAINLY KNOW WE HAVE A
RICH ART COMMUNITY IN
SPRINGFIELD AND ACROSS THE
OZARKS.
WE WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME
AWARENESS ABOUT ONE PARTICULAR
GROUP IN AN EVENT COMING UP
THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW A LOT
ABOUT, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE
MOON CITY CREATIVE DISTRICT.
MAIK KOTSAR MARY CHAMBERLAIN
AND STEVE MILLER WAS THE MOON
CITY CREATIVE DISTRICT.
FOR ARGUERS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT
THAT GROUP IS, TELL US ABOUT IT
BECAUSE YOU'RE A GROUP THAT IS
KIND OF ADJACENT TO COMMERCIAL
STREET, RIGHT?
WE ARTICLE WE ARE A ARTIST
WORK-THE DISTRICT AND A
DESIGNATED AREA JUST NORTH OF
THE COMMERCIAL STREET DISTRICT.
IN PEOPLE'S MINDS, IF THEY CAN
VISUALIZE THERE IS A AREA NORTH
OF THE RAILYARD.
IT IS A 10 SQUARE BLOCK AREA
BETWEEN CHASE AND ATLANTIC,
WASHINGTON AND BROADWAY, AND IT
IS A LIVE-WORK AREA WHERE
ARTISTS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
NOT ONLY OCCUPY THE PROPERTY AS
A MENTOR BUT THEY CAN ALSO LIVE
IN THEIR HOME AND WORK FROM
THERE HOME.
THERE IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY TO
HAVE A RETAIL PRESENCE.
IT IS CALLED THE OVERLAY THAT
THE CITY HAS DESIGNATED FOR THE
AREA.
WE HAVE ABOUT 6 OR 7 ARTISTS IN
THE AREA, ONE JUST OUTSIDE THE
DISTRICT, BUT WE INCLUDE THAT,
SO WE HAVE 7 WORKING ARTISTS
THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA.
David: THIS IS A FIRST FOR
OZARKS TONIGHT.WE HAVE SOME
AMAZING ART PIECES ON OUR TABLE
AND ALSO IN THE OTHER PART OF
OUR STUDIO, MIRROR AND TELL US
ABOUT WHAT YOU BROUGHT.
WE BROUGHT SOME WORK FROM
ARTISTS THAT WILL BE AT THE
FESTIVAL ON JUNE FIFTEENTH TO
CALL THIS.
David: YOU HAVE OTHER
PIECES HERE WE CAN SHOW VIEWERS
AS WELL.
WE HAVE A OIL PAINTING, A
PORTRAIT, AND A COUPLE MORE
WHEN-TURNED PIECES.>> THESE
ARE AWESOME PIECES OF ART THAT
WE ARE SEEING HERE AND WE ARE
CERTAINLY GLAD TO SHOW WITH
ARGUERS.
YOU MENTIONED MEANS THAT THESE
ARE ITEMS THAT WILL BE PART OF
THE SUMMER SOLSTICE COMING UP
ON JUNE FIFTEENTH . LET'S TALK
ABOUT WITH THE JUNE SUMMER
SOLSTICE IS WITH THE MOON CITY
CREATIVE DISTRICT.
THE SUMMER SOLSTICE FOR IS
KIND OF THE BABY OF OURS AND IT
IS A DOCTOR THAT FOCUSES
ENTIRELY ON ARTISTS.
EVERYTHING WE DO IS FOR THE
ARTISTS.
WE ALSO IN ADDITION TO, HAVE
MUSIC, BECAUSE MUSIC IS A
IMPORTANT PART OF OUR COMMUNITY
AS WELL.
WE WILL HAVE A LIVE STAGE ALL
DAY LONG WE WILL HAVE THE
REGIONAL OPERA, SPRINGFIELD
GROUPS DOING LIVE MUSIC ALL

FOR US AND SNOW CONES.

ACTUALLY IN HISTORIC LAFAYETTE
PARK.
THE SUMMER SOLSTICE EVENT
COMING UP, WHEN WILL THAT BE?
10:00 TO 6:00. JUST TO LET
US KNOW MORE ABOUT THE MOON
CITY CREATIVE DISTRICT, YOU
GUYS HAVE SOME OTHER THINGS YOU
HAVE DONE.
IF YOU HAVE NOTICED SOME OF THE
UTILITY POLES THAT HAVE BEEN
PAINTED AROUND TOWN, IT IS YOUR
WORK, RIGHT?
WE HAVE DONE PAINTING
AROUND THE MOON CITY CREATIVE
DISTRICT AND THE IDEA WAS IF
YOU SAY, DELETE-WORK DISTRICT,
WHERE IS IT?
YOU DON'T KNOW YOU ARE
NECESSARILY THERE.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF
WELCOME TO OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT, SO WE THOUGHT WHAT IF WE
GO AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE
DISTRICT AND PAINT UTILITY
POLES.
SO WE STARTED OUT WITH I THINK
200 POLES THAT CITY UTILITIES
MINUS PAINT.
AND 780 HAVE BEEN PAINTED.
WE HAVE DONE IT TWICE A YEAR
FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
WE ARE APPROACHING OUR TENTH
PAINTING.
HE WILL DO ANOTHER ONE ON THE
LAST SATURDAY IN OCTOBER.
P 4 IT CERTAINLY HELPS TO
BEAUTIFY THE CITY.
IT IS VERY NICE.
YOU GUYS HAVE A NEW MURAL
THAT HE PAINTED TOO, WHICH IS
OVER AT CHASE AND GRANT.
TO ME ABOUT THAT.
WE JUST FINISHED IT THIS
WEEKEND.
IT IS ON THE SIDE OF THE WORK
SERVICE STATION.
IT INCORPORATES A TRAIN,
BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT
THE HISTORY OF THE COMMERCIAL
STREET DISTRICT.
AND WE HAVE BIRDS AND FLOWERS.
IT IS REALLY INCREDIBLE.
REPLACED AT THE GATEWAY.
David: SO CAN FOLKS
