Warwick Society
The Warwick Society was created to support student scholarships at the Kansas City Art Institute while providing members with unique opportunities to explore the field of visual arts and design and to increase their knowledge of KCAI. Warwick members contribute $1,200 or more each year because they believe in KCAI's mission and fundamental importance of art, design, creativity and innovation. Membership is 100% tax deductible and helps provide much-needed scholarship assistance for the more than 90% of talented young artists and designers who come to KCAI each year in pursuit of their dreams.
