Quick Intro...

Hi, I'm AJ Vanderhorst. Born in Lawrence, Kansas, home of the mighty Jayhawks, I currently live near downtown Kansas City. I'm married to the beautiful Lindsay, and have two rambunctious kids, Aidan and Asher. At the moment, my goal is to freelance write & get an urban church plant off the ground. It would also be cool to keep my hoops game alive and see a downtown Renaissance in KC.

Another Thing...

This blog is where I think out loud about knowing Jesus, living out my theology, and making risky plans, so it has a personal, sometimes confessional flavor. We want to see a new, Jesus-exalting, culturally-focused work of God started in the urban arts district of KC. Feel free to contact me if something here sparks your interest.

Crossroads District Provokes ArtInTheDistrict.com

In the Crossroads District downtown, “First Fridays” is the night each month where you can walk the streets and find most of the area’s dozens of galleries open, not to mention some great hole-in-the-wall restaurants and musicians jamming on the blacktop.

When we went a few weeks ago, we ran into the NerdBots studio in the Arts Incubator building and chatted a little with the artists–a husband-wife team who make these remarkable, humorous robot sculptures out of discarded scrap metal. (They do a great job branding their stuff, too. See their site.)

They asked us to vote for them on the Art in the District site, and I said we would. I just did. And this site is pretty nice. If you want to get a feel for some of the artists and galleries you can find in Kansas City’s Crossroads district, check it out. Most of the sites I’ve found about the Crossroads are cursory at best.
