YOU ARE INVITED!

Dear ArtsKC Community,

Join us for ArtsKC’s inaugural Summer Arts Celebration—a vibrant new signature event bringing together the creative heartbeat of our city, hosted this year at the iconic Rock Island Bridge.

Thursday, June 4, 2026
5:30pm - 8:00pm
📍 Rock Island Bridge, 1799 American Royal Dr, KCMO, 64102

This is more than a gathering—it’s a moment. A moment to celebrate the artists, makers, performers, and visionaries who shape our city’s culture. A moment to come together to spark ideas, build momentum, and showcase the spirit that makes our city shine. A moment to stand together on a bridge that symbolizes connection—linking Kansas City to the world.

As we look ahead to welcoming global visitors for the World Cup, we’re kicking things off in style—with an evening full of:
