Connecting Kansas City’s art museums and Culture District, The Arterie is a new experiential pathway weaving together art, nature, people, and places. A partnership between Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City Art Institute, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and Midtown KC Now, The Arterie leads from the new KC Streetcar stop at the corner of Main Street and 45th Street to the doorsteps of these cultural destinations.
