AMONG OUTSTANDING LOCAL ARTISTS AND LEADING BUSINESSES

The Kansas City Collection V (KCCV) proudly announces the participating artists and businesses that will launch the 2018-19 Collection on Thursday, July 12th, at the global architecture and design firm Populous. “We’re pleased to again feature The Kansas City Collection in our home at 4800 Main,” said Populous Managing Director Earl Santee.  “Our designs are visible across the globe but our creative roots are here in Kansas City and it’s gratifying to showcase area talent.”

The Kansas City Collection, now in its fifth cycle, was created by The Collectors Fund in 2010, to exhibit the outstanding artwork of Kansas City’s fine artists through participating area businesses as part of a unique art rotation program. The partner companies for The Kansas City Collection V are: Barkley, Black & Veatch, Populous, Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City and Saint Luke’s South Hospital in Overland Park, Kansas. Over each eighteen-month cycle of the program, participating business partners enjoy professionally-curated art selections in their places of business for three six-month rotations.
