Art & Design Auction

Art & Design Auction Brings in Nearly $400k for Scholarships!

The Kansas City Art Institute would like to extend an enormous THANK YOU to all of our sponsors, attendees, and donating artists. This year the Art and Design Auction had 183 works of art included in the silent auction along with a buy-it-now Marketplace. The event brought over 400 visitors to campus and raised nearly $400,000 for student scholarships.

We would like to thank our Honorary Chairs, Bill and Christy Gautreaux and Event Chairs, Chad and Taylor Grossenkemper along with all of the volunteers. And a special thank you to our Presenting Sponsors: Tom & Jean McDonnell, Sue & Lewis Nerman, Jane Voorhees and The Muriel McBrien Kauffman Family Foundation.
