«The 1819 Central Gallery itself is a fairly new addition to the Kansas City arts scene. The gallery has been housing 60-​day exhibitions since July 2009. The building is comprised of three sections: event space, the gallery space, and a recording studio in the rear of the building. Co-​owner Scott Burnett says all the exhibitions in the gallery have and will be music-​related in some way, whether they consist of art by musicians, depicting musical themes or just inspired by music. Previous exhibitions at the gallery have included works by Lisa Law, who displayed her photographs of 1960s rock icons, Mark Mothersbaugh (DEVO), and Carl Lundgren, who was a prominent 1960s concert-​poster artist in Detroit…»
