Arts & Issues: ZAHNER

May 28, 2010 · 1 Comment

Kansas City’s business community is widely known and admired for its generous support of the arts. But what happens when businessmen move beyond philanthropy and became active participants…imagining, designing, and fabricating alongside some of the greatest architects and artists of our day?

Bill Zahner, CEO of ZAHNER architectural metals, runs his company with the sensibility and inventiveness of an artist. ZAHNER’s mission, “to advance the boundaries of metal” is achieved daily through his interactions with architects like Frank Gehry and artists-in-residence Reilly Hoffman and Dierk Van Keppel. ZAHNER continues to forge new frontiers in art and architecture, making this Kansas City company an international treasure.

Please come for a special “Arts & Issues” as Bill Zahner shares his portfolio of work and discusses ZAHNER’s unique approach to business and art. Joining Mr. Zahner will be artists Reilly Hoffman and Dierk Van Keppel.
