Description

The Kansas City Artists Coalition International Artists Residency Program (ARP) will work to bring visual artists from around the world together in order to build friendships and improve intercultural understanding. The coalition will strive to support artists and by offering space and time to create. The goals are: to provide artists with a supportive environment, time, and a large studio space to create art that others in the Kansas City community will be able to view and/or learn from; to enrich the resident artists’ experiences by encouraging travel and the importance of intercultural connections; to promote the value of exchanging ideas among art-producing peers.
