: ABOUT THE KANSAS CITY ARTISTS COALITION

The Kansas City Artists Coalition (KCAC), an artist-centered, artist-run alternative space, presents a variety of contemporary visual art exhibitions in its Mallin Gallery, Jacqueline B. Charno Gallery and the Underground.

The Artists Coalition provides many programs and services for artists and the community. In our three galleries we produce approximately twenty-one exhibitions annually of work by emerging and mid-career artists. Other projects include: the Lighton International Artists Exchange Program and Money for Artists Promotion grants; Open Studios; and www.kansascityartistscoalition.org. We also publish Artists Directories and catalogs for our Open Studios events, mostly recently ARTISTS STUDIOS:KC. In addition, we sponsor lectures and performance art and conduct Artists’ Toolkits, (professional development workshops for visual artists). In just a few months we will open the Kansas City International Artists Residency Program.

Kansas City Artists Coalition is a Warhol Initiative recipient. This project of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts is to strengthen artist-centered organizations. KCAC was one of nine organizations to receive this award in 2002. The Initiative was granted to the Artists Coalition because of our strong programming and our commitment to artists.

The Kansas City Artists Coalition the region’s largest and oldest artist centered organization. We take pride in promoting contemporary visual arts in Kansas City and the surrounding region. FMI: visit www.KansasCityArtistsCoalition.org
