Party Arty: Painted Night

by Dawnya Bartsch

The Nelson-Atkins’ annual fundraiser Party Arty: Painted Night was a tremendous success. Hosted by the museum’s Young Friends of Art, the after-hours event raised more than $140,000 to help fund art education, outreach programs and free museum admission.

We want to hear from you. Tell us about events happening in the community.  –Dawnya Bartsch, editor-in-chief editor@kansascitymag.com.
