We Couldn’t Do This Without You


At KCAC, we know the arts don’t thrive in isolation—they flourish because of a community that believes in them. We are deeply grateful to the organizations, foundations, and businesses that have stood beside us, championing the arts and the artists who make Kansas City such a vibrant, creative place to live. Your belief in the power of creativity fuels everything we do, and reminds us that we’re part of something bigger—an entire network of people who know the arts are essential, worthy, and worth fighting for.
