Hosted by Kansas Citizens for the Arts in partnership with the Kansas Arts Commission.

Attention Kansas Arts Supporters!
This is a crucial year for the arts in Kansas with the current legislative session. We need everyone's support -- arts advocates; arts educators; artists; arts organization directors, board members and volunteers; and arts patrons -- anyone who values the benefits of the arts in their Kansas communities.
