I'm a passionate believer in the inherent creativity possessed by all people and our inherent ability--if it's not clouded by convention--to appreciate authentic beauty in all forms, whether we like it or not.

Aesthetics happen.

Public Art ain't for the feint of heart.

We've got some exceptionally talented artists in the Kansas City area who have an opportunity to excel with public art installations at home and in other cities. This workshop will help give them the tools to succeed.

Public art brings variety, energy and life to our public spaces. The One Percent for Art Program compliments this town's thriving art community and it serves as a testimonial to our elected officials' dedication to the city's cultural heritage and vision for the future.

Of the more than 300 similar public art programs in the United States, Kansas City's One Percent for Art Program is regarded highly for its programming and collection of art. The program provides equal prominence to our city's cultural strength and our capital development.
