Welcome

Welcome to the Kansas Arts Commission!

The mission of the Kansas Arts Commission is to provide opportunities for the people of Kansas to experience, celebrate and value the arts throughout their lives.

We serve artists, nonprofit organizations, schools and government agencies through grants to support the arts in communities. We also provide seminars, workshops and one-on-one consulting in business development, grantwriting, strategic planning, marketing and other areas of nonprofit arts management.

We look forward to hearing from you about how, together, we can put the arts at the center of our Kansas communities. Join our mailing list or contact us at .
