West Plains, MO. – It’s here, the time of the Eclipse is upon us, and with that, the West Plains Party in the Path will be starting over the next week, with several major institutions and locations holding events to coincide with the Great American Eclipse.
This applies, of course, to local West Plains Arts Alliance organizations as well, and Terry Hampton talks this up in this week’s Arts Alliance Update.

In partnership with the member organizations of the West Plains Arts Alliance and others, “Total Eclipse and the Art” is a self-guided tour of art and art activities in town. It combines several locations where art can be viewed on your own schedule and other places which have specific show hours. Viewing is free, but some locations do accept donations. Some of the art is for sale and some is for display only. This event is part of the Eclipse West Plains – Party in the Path festivities.
