Program description:
The Myth of the Artist: How Kansas City Creatives Really Make a Living
Speaker: Cory Imig, Kansas City Art Institute
A thriving arts community isn’t built on individual genius alone—it’s built on networks, partnerships, and shared investment that depends on all of us. KC has a long history of artists building careers through collaboration, resourcefulness, and community—not just working alone in studios. This talk traces the evolution of the KC art scene from its early artist-run spaces and civic roots to today’s dynamic ecosystem.

They have an extensive drink menu but only serve packaged snacks like potato chips. We can get dinner after - there are lots of great places in the immediate area
