Education Opportunities
The Artspace serves the mission of the Kansas City Art Institute by providing extraordinary learning opportunities for KCAI students through a Student Work Program and an Intern Program. Student interns and assistants are involved in all aspects of our program – from the inception of an exhibition’s beginning to its design and installation to its reception by a public audience. Through their roles at the Artspace, students gain insight and expertise that expand their educational opportunities at KCAI and are provided with an introduction to a range of professional opportunities available for them after college. Artspace interns also have an opportunity to curate one exhibition in the Roger Cohen Resource Room to implement all they have learned and contribute publicly to Artspace programming.
Public Programs & TNT Fridays
The Artpsace hosts a range of educational programs to complement our exhibition program. Exhibiting artists, guest curators, and arts professionals are invited to give illustrated presentations to Artspace visitors at noon on select Fridays for T.N.T. (The Noon Thing) Fridays.
Partnerships
The Artspace has met with enthusiastic response in the past 5 years. In some measure, success can be determined and gauged by the company kept and by the alliances formed. In recent years, the Artspace has benefited from a range of partnerships and collaborations and has received the support of many.
Artist-in-Residence Program
On occasion, the Artspace invites artists to create new work for an exhibition or project while in residence at the Artspace. Artists are invited to interact and collaborate with KCAI students, faculty, and Artspace staff, and meet with Artspace visitors during their residency. Artists-in-residence hosted by the Artspace include:
