Englewood Arts District

By Sandy Turner The Examiner Once known as a streetcar suburb in the early 1900’s, Englewood now thrives as an art and retail district and is literally a city within a city.

Located within the city limits of Independence, Englewood has made a name for itself as a district that has come to life.

Recently recognized as an arts district by the city council of Independence, those whose passion lies within Englewood, are eager for the rest of the county to take notice.

“We invite everyone to tour Englewood and see how alive it is with 12 art galleries, 30 local artists and retail stores,” Russ Lawrence, owner of Changing Seasons and Russ Lawrence Gallery in Englewood said, “not only during the art walk when there

are thousands of people here, but every day as well.”

The Art Walk from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on the third Friday of each month provides the opportunity for art enthusiasts — from collectors to novice — to enjoy a variety of art, from modern to folk, oils to acrylics, jewelry and sculptures as well as enjoy music from local musicians.

“Those of us participating in the Englewood Arts District understand all values of art,” he said. “With pieces ranging from $20,000 to $20 and prints beginning at $5. The great thing about Englewood is our art walks continue year round, no matter the weather or season.”

The Winner Road Gallery, owned

by Sherri Haupert is one of the many galleries, which are open for local artists to display their works.

“Winner Road Gallery promotes more of a traditional theme,” she said. “All of the galleries in Englewood offer a multitude of styles which makes it very interesting and unique.”

Workshops are held at many of the galleries for the public to have a hands-on experience with the artists themselves.

“We invite the public to visit www. winnerroadgallery.com to learn more about the workshops which are held at our gallery on Saturdays,” Haupert said.

Along with receiving the art district designation, Englewood will also enjoy a facelift in the months to come with MARC funds designated for streetscape improvements such as widening of sidewalks, relocation of parking and improvement of transit bus stops and bicycle facilities as well as corridor beautification.

One of the mainstays of Englewood, having been located on Winner Road for nearly a decade, brings

art to the public in the form of puppetry with a museum and workshops for children to build their own.

Several restaurants in Englewood provide the opportunity to experience a variety of food including the
