Collect Art + Support Artists

The Kansas City Artists Coalition was created to change the lives of artists living in the Kansas City region. KCAC provides a forum for contemporary art and offers art collectors the opportunity to acquire art from artists at every level of their career - from emerging to established artists.

  • The experience of working with the KCAC staff on my encaustic collage workshop was wonderful. It’s a great space, plus the staff was very helpful. The participants created some exceptional pieces of art using new processes they had never experienced. Everything ran smoothly and I’m grateful for the opportunity to host the workshop. I would definitely host another workshop at KCAC.

  • “The KCAC experience was quintessential in my early-career journey as an artist. The process was very smooth and I feel that my questions were answered every step of the way. After I was awarded 2nd place in the juried exhibition, I made great connections with the jurors that opened other artistic doors for me. I would be grateful to work with KCAC again at any point in the future!"

  • "I am so very thankful for all the opportunities that KCAC has brought me. Because of you guys, I entered into the art world and made connections that I would have otherwise struggled to get a hold of. I made my first real sale of a painting that is now a part of Kansas City history. The gang at KCAC gives out chances of a lifetime like they're cups of water and I think that's what makes them so important to the arts in KC. Bringing emerging artists from the area to the forefront makes being a part of this wonderful group vital to the growth of any artist in this city."

  • " KCAC is so connected to the arts community in the metro area, so the promotion of the exhibition is second to none. I have done several exhibitions in my art career and KCAC is one of the top galleries in town. Not only does the display and facilities look great, but in both instances showing with KCAC, I've had some of my best sales. I can't recommend them enough for both emerging, mid-career and veteran artists alike. "

  • "Kansas City Artists Coalition is a great platform for artists at any career stage to not only showcase their existing artworks, but also have an exploratory journey of curation and public programming. As a research-based artist and curator duo, we were very honored to be able to occupy this space for 3 weeks during June 2022, our show attracted an amazing number of audience and was featured on local media – The community built by KCAC made a lot of inspiring conversations happen."

  • "Exhibiting at KCAC allowed me to share parts of my studio practice that I'd never shown before. I felt free to experiment and use the Snap Space as an extension of my studio—another place to make connections. It helped me to realize ideas I'd wanted to explore for a long time and allowed me to share them with a larger audience."
