Art in Columbus Park :
What began as a bunch of Kansas City artists collaborating their works and celebrating what is probably the most ethnically diverse section of town, Art in Columbus Park is trying to establish itself as a major monthly art event in the metro. Currently, the AICP consists of 5 community galleries and numerous restaurants that participate in the monthly crawl.
Where is Columbus Park :
Located in a historical neighborhood just East of the City Market, Art in Columbus Park is located just 9 blocks East of the River Market at 1020 E. Missouri. You can get there by I-35 on the East or head through downtown and go through the River Market from the West. If you're coming from the Northland-get there via either the Broadway or Paseo Bridges. For a map and complete directions to Columbus Park, visit the AICP.
When:
