ArtsKC is a nonprofit organization serving the five-county region; including Clay, Platte and Jackson in Missouri and Johnson and Wyandotte in Kansas. We provide programs and services to arts organizations, artists and the business and civic communities. Our aim is to increase funding for the arts and culture from diversified and sustainable sources, increase awareness of the arts and their impact on quality of life issues in our community, and establish the arts as integral to economic development and other key civic and business initiatives. We have a 2,100 square foot gallery in the front of our building that showcases a visual artist and a performing artist every First Friday.
