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.

The Artspace works closely with members of the Kansas City Art Institute community and the external community to realize exhibitions and public programs for the benefit of Artspace audiences, KCAI students, and exhibiting artists. Over the years, the Artspace has cultivated numerous beneficial mission-oriented partnerships with educational institutions, arts organizations, corporations, foundations, and others to expand the scope and reach of its programs.
