It has been a while since we last checked in with our favorite DJ: Ashton Martin.
As we head into the third month of 2014, the Kansas City-based DJ reflected on some of his favorite events of the year and previewed what he has in store for the Spring!
Party Arty: Ashton kicked off 2014 by spinning for a sold out crowd at one of Kansas City’s premier fundraisers. The Young Friends of Art sponsored this event that raised awareness for the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art’s latest exhibition: Echoes: Islamic Art and Contemporary Artists. They also previewed the museum’s upcoming event: Roads of Arabia: Archaeology and History of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which will make its debut in April.
Pipeline After Party: Next, he headed to the Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland to provide tunes for Pipeline’s Innovator of the Year Awards’ sold out crowd. Ashton stated that he “enjoyed working with the staff.”
Sake with Friends: Ashton began his February by DJing at the Third Annual Sake with Friends event. The program benefited the Children’s Therapeutic Learning Center. The event, held at Nara NeoJapanese Restaurant in the Crossroads District, highlighted the organization’s mission, which is to help children with special needs soar.
