About the Drop

The arts enrich us in so many ways. They teach us about one another, about our struggles, about our hopes and fears, about love and what drives us. It s no surprise that there are proven health benefits, both mental and physical, that come from participating in the arts.

We recognize there are barriers that often prevent everyone from being able to access arts events, shows and exhibits where they are. Financial barriers, geographical barriers or a lack of belonging. The Drop changes that.

Calendar partners

Arts and culture in the Kansas City region is powered by an ecosystem of passionate, innovative individuals, non profit organizations and creative businesses working together to support art in all its forms.
