The Missouri Bank’s Crossroads location, at 125 Southwest Boulevard, KCMO, will debut four new large-scale commissioned images by Kansas City artists Charlie Mylie and Maria Ogedengbe as part of its ongoing “Artboards” series in time for First Friday, September 4, 2015. Installed on the exterior, double-sided billboards rising above the bank, the “Artboards” are visible to the public all hours of the day, and will remain on view through the end of November 2015.

ABOUT THE “ARTBOARDS”
The Missouri Bank “Artboards” launched fall 2008, when the building’s existing double-sided billboards were renovated and converted into a highly visible site for work by area artists as part of the bank’s purchase and renovation of the building to house its Crossroads Branch. Charlotte Street Foundation administers the programming of the Artboards in collaboration with a panel of Missouri Bank representatives.
