As longtime fans of movie director Wes Anderson, we stumbled across the Accidentally Wes Anderson (AWA) Instagram feed a few years ago.

As longtime fans of movie director Wes Anderson, we stumbled across the Accidentally Wes Anderson (AWA) Instagram feed a few years ago. AWA features real places that capture both the aesthetic and the spirit that Anderson creates in his films. Beautiful, quirky, colorful, and unique are adjectives that describe these images. AWA is filled with beautiful photos from around the world, but the Central United States is sorely underrepresented. Thank You For Exploring x Heartland is our homage to this part of the country. We were thrilled when AWA founders, Wally & Amanda Koval, agreed to collaborate on an exhibition. We invited other adventure seekers to join us by sharing their photos of the many charming historic places found within one long day’s drive from Kansas City. This is an area that stretches from the Rocky Mountains to the desert Southwest to the Corn Belt to the Upper Midwest. Some people call this flyover country. We call it the Heartland. We are delighted with the variety, beauty, and depth of community showcased in these images. Some are from the Rosin team. Others were submitted by new adventuring friends. We hope this exhibition helps you to appreciate the Heartland through fresh eyes. Questions? Want a private viewing? Reach out to us at info@rosinpreservation.com. ALWAYS KEEP EXPLORING!
The exhibit is also available for public viewing by appointment Monday - Friday, 12 - 4 pm. Please give us a call at 816-472-4950 or send us an email at info@rosinpreservation.com to let us know when you want to drop in.
