B-Side Fest (Formerly Southwest by central street fest) is a community art and music event in support of Imagine That!. This summer’s event will mark our 5th year of putting on this festival! We will be showing work and performances of both our artists and local individual artists, giving them equal opportunity and shared space to present.

Featured in the gallery space will be a music themed art installation with DJ performances, silent auction and a 50/50 raffle!

Outside we will have musical performances from Natural Man and the Supreme Court and more, artist tables, a bounce house, food trucks and much more!

Our goal in hosting this event is to promote awareness of our program, the artists we support, and foster new and exciting connections to the arts community and population of Kansas City. There are so many great things happening in KC, and this is a celebration of our vibrant community!

We'd like to give a special thanks to all of our generous partners who have helped us make this event the best yet!
