ARTFARE

ArtFare 2026 unites two creative worlds for one unforgettable evening. Experience a truly collaborative menu where art fuels flavor, and every dish tells a story of mutual inspiration.

Seven years of ArtFare means celebrating The Vanderslice Committee. From visionary fundraising to hands-on event leadership, the committee's dedication has been vital to preserving the historic heart of KCAI's campus, Vanderslice Hall.

For nearly a century, Vanderslice Hall has welcomed students and their families to the Kansas City Art Institute. For many artists and designers, it is one of the first places they encounter when they visit campus. It is where portfolios are shared, conversations begin, and possibilities begin to feel real.

Join us at Vanderslice Hall on Sunday evening, September 27, at 6:00 p.m. to celebrate the collaboration of artists, chefs, educators, and supporters who create instrumental opportunities for the next generation of creatives.
