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.

Collectors, art enthusiasts, and friends of the Coalition know this is the best night of the year to acquire art from sought-after established and emerging artists – with ALL of the proceeds going to fund operations, exhibitions and programming for the Kansas City Artists Coalition.
KCAC's Annual Art Auction serves as the primary source of support for the organization. Each year, hundreds of artists in our community generously donate artwork to this annual fundraiser. These donations help support KCAC and act as an endorsement for this grassroots arts organization.
ART is the star of the Kansas City Artists Coalition’s Annual Art Auctions. Without stellar art from artists working in different styles, techniques and mediums we can not have a fabulous event that helps to introduce patrons and collectors to Artists practicing across Kansas City and the region.
The Auction Preview Exhibition will showcase work from a variety of different artists at all career stages. The Preview Exhibition will be on view in KCAC’s Main Gallery and Snap Space; The 43rd Benefit Auction will occur In the Medallion Room at Art Park 39 on Saturday February 28th, and will feature both live and silent online auctions.
