In 2015, a longtime supporter of KCAI generously gifted to us 1819 Grand Boulevard, located in the Crossroads Arts District in Kansas City, Missouri. This facility includes two galleries, a large studio space, and an artist-in-residence apartment. Renamed KCAI Crossroads Gallery: Center for Contemporary Practice, the location provides an exciting opportunity for the college to extend its curricula to students and our connection with the community. This new facility serves as an experimental site for exhibitions, courses, creative residencies, performances, generative studio practice, and special engagements.
