Of course there's innuendo in the title of Alicia Solombrino's first art show.
Mi Arte: poke.my.dot consists of a collection of small, simple, reasonably priced paintings by the provocative local musician. Most of the works consist of circles and circle patterns. "Polka dots relax me," explained Solombrino, who wore a polka-dot dress to the First Friday opening. Her little paintings are on display at the Brick (1727 McGee, 816-421-1634) this month. Proceeds from sales will be split between her band, the Beautiful Bodies, and the estate of the group's late guitarist, Michael Corte.
