“Studios Inc is a welcome addition to the landscape of contemporary art practice. In the grand tradition of the non-profit studio and exhibition spaces of the 1960’s and 1970’s, it offers an alternative to artists in an art world increasingly dominated by a market mentality. It affords mid-career artists the most precious of gifts: the space and solitude necessary for the cultivation of serious art.”

— James Meyer, National Gallery of Art: Associate Curator of Modern Art

THE STUDIOS INC RESIDENCY PROGRAM

The Studios Inc Residency Program provides free industrial studio and exhibition spaces to mid-career artists of mixed disciplines. As our residents build their physical body of work, we work to help them foster relationships with collectors, patrons, and art professionals in the creative community. The converted 1900’s warehouse’s placement on the edge of the Kansas City’s Crossroads Arts District provides artists in residency with a direct connection to their community through Studios Inc-hosted events during the popular First Friday monthly arts walk.
