Local artist Allison Bowman's latest project, Prairie in the Parks, gives new life to an old coin-operated sticker vending machine by promoting Johnson County parks that are home to prairie spaces. A portion of the proceeds from the sticker vending machine will be donated to The Parks and Recreation Foundation of Johnson County to support local prairie conservation efforts in Kansas. The coin operated machine will make its way to the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center following its stay at Lenexa Public Market.
Fun Fact: Allison’s art has showcased JCPRD before! Her Parade of Hearts design entitled, "Of the Prairie" appeared in Shawnee Mission Park last year.
