Kansas City, Mo. (PRWEB) February 06, 2015

Hotel Phillips, a historic and prestigious boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown Kansas City, is pleased to announce a variety of new art workshops hosted by its Artist in Residence, Madeline Gallucci.

To kick off the month-long programming, Hotel Phillips and Gallucci will host the Hello Art 5th Anniversary Party on February 6, 2015 from 5:30-9:00 p.m. Hello Art offers fun and informative events throughout the community that help connect artists with those who appreciate their work. The 5th anniversary celebration will honor Hello Art as it continues to support the local arts community in Kansas City with a night long celebration with a variety of sensory installations and performances created by local visual and performing artists, as well as an After Party featuring the music of Hermon Mehari.

“Hotel Phillips is a proud supporter of Hello Art and the arts community and works with the organization often to bring local artists to Kansas City. We have featured one artist each year as our Artist In Residence to showcase the artist’s work throughout the hotel and its restaurant, 12 Baltimore, providing a hands-on, unique experience for our guests. We congratulate the organization on five years and look forward to many more successful partnerships,” said Gerald Rappaport, general manager, Hotel Phillips.

As part of the 5th Anniversary Party, guests are invited to enjoy complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction featuring Kansas City’s top artists and supporting businesses, and music provided by jazz pianist Mark Lowrey. Immediately following the event, there will be an After Party in the Regency Room featuring Hermon Mehari. Mehari’s quartet will get the party started with jazz standards and swing, later transitioning to classy modern genres of R&B, pop and hip hop. The After Party will take place from 9 p.m. until midnight.
