Kansas City Artists Coalition

This lovely, unassuming gallery/artists resource center has been serving the creative community of the Kansas City region for over 30 years.Ten times each year they stage exhibits in their three, adjoining galleries, located in the ArtSpace building in the River Market. Their showings are sometimes individual artists and other times regionally selected groups of artists, including their annual student shows highlighting the works of emerging college students.Besides presenting exhibits, they serve their professional creative membership with seminars and classes on marketing, accounting, the law pertaining to the business of art, grant writing and submitting for public art commissions. They also serve as a resource center in introducing voluminous catalogues of the works of their members to prospective buyers, including corporations, designers and discerning individuals.They are just completing a new addition, an artist(s) in residency studio, which will provide living and working facilities for artists selected from around the globe. What an exciting, under the radar, opportunity for Kansas City to reach the world!It's one of my favorite places to view art in KC, up there with the Nelson. Calm, inviting, and I always feel as though I can look for hours without anyone feeling the need to "inform and advise". However, if I have questions or comments, the staff is always ready to offer what they may.Another nearly hidden gem.
