With a planned launch Nov. 2, The Arterie is a newly established winding pathway through an envisioned “cultural district” in Kansas City. Midtown KC Now, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and Kansas City Art Institute formed a partnership to establish The Arterie.

“The Arterie winds through the heart of the city to connect institutions, installations and creatively fueled sights along the way. It is a connective, ever-evolving journey that weaves together art, people and places,” said Kathleen Leighton, manager of media relations and production at the The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

The idea for such a cultural district originated more than four decades ago. Recent developments in the city’s transportation infrastructure brought The Arterie to the forefront for local arts leadership.??
