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.

Introducing Modern Makers for ages 10-13! Like Camp Kemper, this three-day camp features hands-on creative projects led by a museum educator

This summer, we’re excited to expand our offerings for young artists. In addition to Camp Kemper for ages 6-9, we’re introducing Modern Makers, a NEW program for ages 10-13! This program featuring hands-on creative projects inspired by the themes and artworks currently on view at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. These three-day camps take place Wednesday through Friday from 1:30–3:30 p.m. and are led by a Kemper Museum educator.

The theme for Week 4 (July 23-July 25) is Harmony & Hue, inviting campers to experiment with use of color, mark-making, and assemblage. Activities will be inspired by the museum's permanent collection and current exhibitions, including Stan Douglas: Metronome, Riffs on Real Time, and more!

Kemper Museum's three-day camps now have a $75 registration fee. This fee was set in place to help sustain and improve the quality of the program as well as cover resources that continue to make camp an enriching experience for kids.

The Kemper team has worked hard to keep the cost as affordable as possible and is offering full scholarships for those who need them. Please email kmckinney@kemperart.org providing a brief statement describing your need for scholarship.

We are additionally offering members a 15% discount when they use our emailed promo code. If you have not received an email with your code, please contact kmckinney@kemperart.org. Interested in becoming a member or renewing your subscription? Visit kemperart.org/memberships
