Carved - A festive fall event

For years, KCAI freshman Foundation students have put their carving prowess to work by taking lowly pumpkins and gourds and turning them into intricate art.  From frightening to fabulous to funny…these are not your typical jack-o-lanterns! Students will be on site carving and their astonishing pumpkin creations will be available for a $50 donation.

Visitors to Carved can get retail therapy at eleven locally-owned shops and enjoy special menu items at Café Europa and Aixios. The Crestwood Shops, located on 55^th Street between Brookside Boulevard and Oak Street, were established in 1922 and is Kansas City’s first neighborhood shopping area.
