The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art plays a huge and fundamental role in the lives of so many in our community – and, if you’re visiting this page, likely in your own life or that of someone you know well. It is a gathering place, a town hall, a classroom, and a refuge.

Because we believe that the Nelson-Atkins can and should be meaningful for everyone in our community, the Friends of Art Council members are fundraising to bring visibility to the accessibility programming at the Museum for their Nelson-Atkins Giving Day campaign.

Beyond keeping the museum free for all, your unrestricted gifts provide support for programs such as the Deaf Cultural Festival and Low-Sensory Mornings that truly open up the life-changing experience of visiting the Museum to people, children, and adults alike, who might otherwise not be able to comfortably engage with the Museum’s world-class collection. We hope you will consider supporting our efforts by donating, and that you too can experience the Nelson-Atkins as a central part of your Kansas City community this holiday season and beyond.
