The Studios’ programs support the symbiotic relationship between artists and collectors essential for a thriving visual art community.  The Studios nurtures symbiosis at a micro level with focus on a selected group of artists and the patrons who support them.  Combined, The Studios Inc is a vital part of the visual art community’s unprecedented growth. A selection panel consisting of a variety of individuals from the Kansas City area is assembled and convenes; it is this selection panel that determines which applicants will be awarded studio spaces in 2013. Residencies are open to all visual artists.
