Exhibitions: Present, Future, Past

Here you’ll find what’s happening right now, what’s just around the corner, and ten years’ worth of shows that have made KCAC what it is today. Whether you’re here to see what’s fresh or to deep-dive into our archives, you’re in good company — we’re nerds for this stuff too.

This is what’s up right now — the art you can actually stand in front of, breathe in (respectfully), and get lost in. If you’re local, consider this your cue to grab a friend and swing by. If you’re browsing from afar, we’ve got plenty of eye candy to tide you over until you can make the trip.
Here’s your sneak peek into what’s coming next at KCAC. Think of it like looking over our shoulder while we hang the show — you’re in on the secret before the paint’s even dry. Mark your calendar now so you can be the person who says, “Oh, I saw that before it was cool.”
This is where we stash the receipts — the last ten of 50 years’ worth of artists, shows, and ideas that have rolled through our galleries. It’s proof of just how much creative energy has pulsed through KCAC. Feel free to dig deep… you never know which artist you’ll spot before they hit the big leagues.

The Annual Undergraduate Student Juried Exhibition is one of the most the most popular exhibitions at KCAC as it showcases young talent from across the region. The Exhibition is juried by a prominent local curator and offers cash awards to three students.

ART FOR ALL & SMALL WORKS SHOWCASE

Opening Reception: First Friday
November 7th, 2025, 5:00 – 8:00 PM

A celebration of the creativity of our members with an emphasis on accessible and collectible pieces is on display in November in our Main Gallery and Snap Space!

November 7-28, 2025

The Kansas City Artists Coalition (KCAC) believes art should be affordable for everyone, while supporting artists and their work, The Art for All Members show in the Main gallery, and the Small Works Showcase in the Snap Space Gallery aim to accomplish both these objectives with fun, beautiful and affordable artworks made by local artists.

Art for All is a non-juried group show for KCAC members only, showing medium sized artworks; Small Works Showcase is a non-juried group exhibition open to all artists in the region, displaying small works.

The Members of Kansas City Artists Coalition are representative of all stages and motivations of an artist’s career, from students and emerging artists to established and late-career artists, self sustaining professionals to joyful hobbyists. The mission of KCAC is to support and promote all artists in the way that best fits them. Our Art for All exhibition helps promote the artists in our community by facilitating greater exposure through the group- exhibition format. For many participating, this is their first public exhibition, providing them with invaluable experience interacting with a gallery and submitting work, developing their professional acumen. Other artists see the exhibition as a way to show their work while connecting with other local artists to grow social and professional networks.

KCAC believes that art should be affordable to everyone, which is why we have capped the price of works allowed at $500 for Art for All and $200 for the Small Works Showcase. We hope that this will incentivize local art lovers and new and seasoned collectors alike to invest in local art and artists, and be an entrypoint for nascent art collectors!
