The Liberty Center’s Loft Gallery was scheduled to collect dust in October, and many artists’ unsold work was collecting dust in their homes. Sedalia artist Dustin M. Schmidt solved both of those problems by organizing “The October Show,” which will open with a Friday reception.
“I told everybody to bring what they had, and I wanted it to be a big show,” Schmidt said. “And a lot of these guys, they have a lot of work sitting around the house, because if it doesn’t sell, you hang onto it or donate it. I wanted people to get motivated and excited and do more of these shows.”
