Stan Morgan Art Show

Fri, Jul 21, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

The Westport Center for the Arts will present a new exhibition called “The Lifetime Art and Works of Brian Stanley Morgan.” The show opens on Friday, July 21 at 6 p.m. at the Westport Presbyterian Church art galleries. The show will document the oil paintings, sculpture, watercolor, masks, found art and collage Morgan has created over the past five decades.

Born in Seattle, he was raised in the inner city of Kansas City and is a product of the Kansas City, Missouri public schools. The big city life in Kansas City and summers in small towns of Texas and Oklahoma “brought me stability in dealing with people from all walks of life. My experience has led me to work with culturally diverse people of all ages. I especially enjoy working with children and the elderly,” he says.

He is a graduate of the Kansas City Art and Design Institute with a B.F.A.  in design (Industrial Design), which has enabled him to work with material in plastic, metal or wood for commercial or residential use.

He also holds certification in childcare and child development, behavioral management, special needs and has worked for many agencies, including the Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, YWCA, Kansas City Public Schools, City Community Centers and private schools. He presently works part-time with Kansas City Parks and Recreation and has previously done arts workshops in the Kansas City Public Libraries, partnering with the Kids Team Up for Art program of Westport Center for the Arts.

Morgan is on the board of the Westport Center of the Arts.
