On this week's episode of the Northeast Newscast, we're hearing from Phyllis Hernandez, who opened Sala de Arte earlier this year at Ninth and Van Brunt, a one-of-a-kind place for neighborhood artists of all varieties to display their art. Phyllis, a resident of Northeast, serves on the Guadalupe school board, is a Senior library technical assistant at the North-East branch of the Kansas City public library, and was recently appointed to Kansas City’s NTDF board. With lots of community support, Sala de Arte is hosting its first annual Dia de los Muertos event on Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. at Ninth and Van Brunt.
