Curation Services Program

KCAC’s Curation Services program connects local artists with new audiences by bringing their work into curated, off-site exhibitions. Open to artists with or without gallery representation, these opportunities expand visibility, foster connections, and showcase the talent of our region beyond KCAC’s walls.

  • KCAC’s curation process begins with a conversation to understand the client’s vision for their space. We then research and present works by multiple artists to help define a curatorial direction—always making it clear that KCAC does not represent artists but works to connect them to opportunity. Once a direction is set, we contact the selected artist to confirm interest and availability, and, when applicable, share any gallery representation details with the client.

  • KCAC offers curation services at the following rates:

    • Over 40 linear feet of installed artwork: $2,500 per 6-month rotation

    • Under 40 linear feet: $1,250 per 6-month rotation

    Tax Deductibility
    60% of the service fee is tax-deductible, supporting KCAC’s operations, including staff, marketing, and community programming.

    Artist Honorariums
    Participating artists may receive an honorarium of up to $200.
