Mission
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art exhibits, collects, and engages in a free and welcoming environment for all.
Vision
To be a leading presenter of groundbreaking exhibitions that support contemporary communities, artists, and ideas, as well as an inclusive center for creative expression and meaningful engagement with the art of our time.
Values
Kemper Museum believes the art of our time is essential. Contemporary artists engage today’s most relevant issues with creativity, nuance, and imagination in ways that spark inspiration, challenge assumptions, prompt dialogue, and bring deeper meaning to our lives.
As a museum, we value public access to art and information that has the power to shape the way we understand and move through the world around us.
As a cultural resource where people from all backgrounds come together in a public space, Kemper Museum values an accessible and inclusive environment that fosters meaningful engagement with contemporary art and a sense of belonging for all.
As a contemporary art organization dedicated to supporting visionary artists, Kemper Museum values a forward-looking mindset and a spirit of experimentation.
There are several available exhibits to view! We highlight a few on our calendar, but please visit www.kemperart.org for a complete list!
