Downtown Kansas City is a celebration of the arts and culture, featuring more art galleries and studios, performing arts stages, theater stages and concert venues than anywhere else in the region.
The Crossroads Arts District, just blocks from the heart of Downtown, is the heartbeat of the Kansas City arts scene. It is home to the spectacular Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and thriving visual and performing arts scene. For a guide to the many galleries in the Crossroads and throughout Downtown, see the comprehensive listings below.
The Crossroads is a unique, nationally known art and cultural district with more than 70 galleries and studios, along with unique restaurants and shops located a few short blocks south of the Power & Light entertainment district and the Sprint Center arena. The Crossroads is filled with contemporary, emerging and traditional art including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, graphic art, textiles, dance and theatre. The Crossroads opens its doors freely to lively Kansas City crowds for popular events such as the First Friday art walk, held every first Friday of the month. Whether you are a beginner or avid collector, or just enjoy art, the Crossroads Arts District is the place to be.
