The Artspace is celebrating its 25th-anniversary this year, and a high point is this summer's 2025 Kansas City Flatfile + Digitalfile. We are excited to showcase the dynamic arts ecology of Kansas City, once again, and celebrate the region's exceptionally talented community of artists as we've done since 2001, when this biennial project was initially launched in partnership with Brooklyn-based Pierogi Flatfiles.

The 2025 Kansas City Flatfile + Digitalfile invites visitors to explore Flatfile cabinets filled with custom-made portfolios containing a diverse range of flat works, and also to view time-based media included in the Digitalfile. This interactive invitational exhibition features artwork by Kansas City visual artists and designers working in drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, photography, textiles, ceramics, glass, digital media, video, animation, and sound.

An ongoing series of Salon and Cabinet Wall installations will feature artworks selected by invited guest curators throughout the exhibition to offer visitors a dynamic and ever-changing experience. Guest curators are artists, educators, art historians, regional curators, arts entrepreneurs, and community organizers who have affiliations with artist-run exhibition spaces and other independent, creative endeavors.
