THE KANSAS CITY ARTISTS COALITION (KCAC)

Cerbera Gallery will DONATE ALL PROCEEDS (minus packing, shipping / delivery costs) of its share to the KANSAS CITY ARTISTS COALITION (KCAC), which is a non-profit, artist-centered, artist-run alternative space, supporting artists at every level in their career through exhibitions, continuing education and artist studios for the past 40 years.

The Kansas City Artists Coalition celebrated an important milestone in 2016: 40TH ANNIVERSARY

“Although much has changed since the mid-seventies when we were founded, our mission to promote visual arts and artists is still needed. KCAC’s longevity can be attributed to adherence to the mission and a long history of integrity, openness, and inclusiveness in its programming. KCAC has gained the trust and resources of our constituencies who support the mission and respect the consistent leadership.”

This important anniversary was a time for reflection not only of the organization’s history but of the historical trends that have affected the KCAC’s work. At the same time, it is important to evaluate the current position and plan for the future.
