A special thank you to Emily and Todd Voth for their generous donation of $25,000, along with each and every one of you who donated towards this fund that helps every young artist at the Kansas City Art Institute.
We are dedicated to nurturing the whole artist—financially, professionally, and personally. All of our students receive financial aid and benefit from individualized career guidance through our Professional Practice Center. They also gain invaluable opportunities to exhibit their work in our two on-campus galleries, engaging with the broader creative community.
KCAI is deeply committed to providing a supportive environment where every student feels valued and inspired. Our students are empowered to pursue their passions and share their vision with the world.
Together, we can ensure that KCAI remains a beacon of creative excellence.
