Meet the Teens!

The Kemper Teen Arts Council is a youth development program for Kansas City-area teens, in both Kansas and Missouri. A competitively selected group of up to fifteen teen leaders with a shared passion for the arts work with Museum Education staff to develop and manage teen programs for Kemper Museum. Over the course of the year, based on the evolution of the group, they plan teen-focused events, attend workshops with local artists, participate in projects related to museum exhibitions, take part in leadership building opportunities, and plan an end-of-program art exhibition.

The Kemper Teen Arts Council is made possible through the generosity of Stan Bushman and Ann Canfield, Charles Helzberg and Sandra Baer, along with Erica and Lorin Crenshaw, JE Dunn Construction, Tom and Susie Corbin, Richard Hamilton, and Jane and Brad Kleindl. We are also grateful to the members of Kemper Museum whose support allows all of our educational programs to be always free of charge.
