Connecting people and art
Hello Art is a membership program created and sponsored by the Arts Incubator, where artists and those who appreciate (and want to buy) their work come together to build community. We offer fun and informative events that help take the intimidation factor out of buying art. We strive to break down the barriers that keep people from exploring all of the outstanding art, artists, galleries and museums that Kansas City has to offer.
Our goal is to bring together all who want to appreciate and support art—including artists, gallery owners, experienced collectors, curious beginners and intimidated patrons—through a year-round calendar of events. First Friday Trolley Tours, Artist Talks and Demonstrations, and Hello Art Member Exhibitions are just a few examples of the types of events we offer.
Hello Art. Where supply meets demand.
