Once again, the museum hosts its annual Block Party, to highlight one of the most creative blocks in KC in partnership with the Kansas City Art Institute!
Celebrate music and community with a number of offerings inspired by featured exhibitions: Stan Douglas: Metronome and Riffs on Real Time. Check out live music, art activities, food trucks, and more at Kemper Museum.
Preview the neighborhood’s upcoming walking tour, The Arterie, connecting Kemper Museum, KCAI and the Nelson-Atkins. Make sure to include a stop to see the exceptional work of student artists at KCAI’s End of Semester Exhibition + Sale!
