About / Community Partners
Kemper Museum nurtures collaborative partnerships with individuals and organizations in Kansas City and beyond to better serve its communities and strengthen its programs, exhibitions, and initiatives.
Kemper Teen Arts Council
The Teen Arts Council at Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art is a teen driven, youth leadership program for Kansas City metro area teens interested in social issues, contemporary art and community engagement.
In an open, inclusive, and creative environment, Teen Arts Council members work with museum staff to develop, manage, and promote programs for other local teens and the public using the museum as their platform.
Find announcements, programs for teens, creative projects, and more information at kemperteens.org.
