The 10th Annual Paint Parkville event was held October 7-14, 2022. The City of Parkville proudly sponsored its seventh purchase award to support the event and to bring talented artists into the community. This year’s theme was the Historic Parkville. Mayor Dean Katerndahl presented the City’s award to winning artist Tammie Dickerson for her painting titled “Looking Up Main – Across the Tracks” at the Board of Aldermen meeting on November 15, 2022.
Artists from around the Kansas City metro area converged for Paint Parkville 2022. Paint Parkville is an annual outdoor plein air painting event hosted by the Cathy Kline Art Gallery with the goal of fostering art appreciation by inviting the public to observe artists in action.
This is the seventh year the City has sponsored a purchase award for Paint Parkville. Prior themes included Parkville, the entryway sign along Highway 9 near Coffey Road east of downtown, the Parkville Nature Sanctuary, downtown Main Street, our Parkville neighborhoods and the Missouri River. The new painting will be displayed with the other purchase awards at Parkville City Hall.
