The Epsten Gallery at Village Shalom is hosting “The Bloch Family: A Visual Legacy,” presented in partnership with the Marion and Henry Bloch Family Foundation in celebration of H&R Block’s 70th anniversary.
The free exhibition will run through March 24 and features 17 pieces from H&R Block’s art collection, with a particular focus on four Kansas City area artists: Jason Pollan, Adolfo Gustavo Martinez, Tom Gragg and Matt Kube. In addition, personal artifacts from the Bloch family’s history will be incorporated into the display. Several artist talks will be scheduled during the exhibition’s run.
In celebration of H&R Block’s 70th anniversary, “The Bloch Family: A Visual Legacy” was created to reflect the Bloch family’s dedication to Kansas City’s Jewish and arts communities. Henry and Richard Bloch further instilled this dedication to community when H&R Block was founded. This legacy continues through Make Every Block Better, H&R Block’s community impact platform focused on bringing communities together and giving back.
This is the first external exhibition at The Epsten Gallery since stewardship of the gallery was entrusted to Village Shalom. Daily exhibition hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. More information is available at villageshalom.org/events.
