Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art acknowledges it resides on the ancestral territory of the Osage, Kaw, and Otoe-Missouria, among other tribal nations forcibly moved to the region such as the Shawnee, Wyandot, Delaware, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) nations. We recognize and support the continued vibrancy of Native communities and cultures today who continue to thrive, as well as the inherent sovereignty of tribal nations. We are compelled to serve and advocate for these communities in accordance with our public mission.

Kemper Museum acknowledges and respects the diversity of Native people connected to this land today. Many recognize the land and all beings who live within it as relatives. We acknowledge the earth we inhabit, the waters of the Blue River, the Kansas River, the Missouri River, and the plants, animals, and people supported by them. 

We acknowledge our responsibility to be good caretakers of the land we occupy.

Juneteenth Performance

In celebration of Juneteenth, Kemper Museum is proud to present acclaimed jazz flautist Amber Underwood and her dynamic band, Flutienastiness, and the SoulPatrol featuring powerhouse vocalist Paula Saunders. Joined by local musicians, they’ll bring a “joyful noise” that honors the rich legacy, resilience, and beauty of African American art, history, and music. 

Visitors are invited to enjoy our extended museum hours on Friday, June 20 from 10:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. to view our current exhibitions before the performance! Experience the rich musicality of Stan Douglas: Metronome or the expansive possibilities of riffing in Riffs on Real Time. 

Please note that Kemper Museum is an unconventional performance venue, and seating is not guaranteed. Access to the program is first come, first served.
