OPENING NIGHT: Cut&Paste’s DESIGN SLAM
Watch a heart-pounding contest of quick-witted design and high-energy showmanship as Kansas City’s finest battle it out in the ultimate design competition!
Inspired by the global success of Cut&Paste’s annual Digital Design Tournament, the Cut&Paste Design Slam is a fast-paced format that tests the skill, speed and stage presence of contestants as they create original designs in timed rounds. The area’s best engineers, architects and designers compete to impress judges as they demonstrate impressive mastery in their respective fields. Audience members will get a front-row seat to the creative process in real time via large-scale projections.
This successful touring competition has been rapidly gaining in popularity since its launch in 2009—this is your first opportunity to see Cut&Paste in Kansas City!
Cut&Paste is a global movement of artists, firms, and media working to strengthen creative networks through events and local support.
Tickets are $9 in advance, $15 at the door.

- , Council Chamber at Olathe City Hall
Public meetings concerning the City’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and Design Guideline update will be held on Wednesday, February 29th in the Council Chamber at Olathe City Hall, 100 East Santa Fe. The UDO will include new standards for zoning, building design, site planning, infrastructure, landscaping, parking, nonconformities and vested rights, and uses. It will also update the process for approving new development.
It is important for us to hear your thoughts about the new UDO. For example:
• What specific changes would you like to see?
• How can the City ensure quality development while maintaining affordability and certainty?
• How can we process zoning, subdivision plat, site plan, and other development applications more quickly?
Your thoughts on these and other questions will help us provide a UDO that works better in the marketplace while implementing the City’s new comprehensive plan. An RSVP is appreciated, but not required. Please contact the Planning Division at 913.971.8750 to RSVP.
