The Kansas City Artists Coalition (KCAC), an artist-centered, artist-run alternative space, presents a variety of contemporary visual art exhibitions in its Mallin Gallery, Jacqueline B. Charno Gallery and the Underground. The Artists Coalition also provides opportunities for artists including grants, panel discussions, publications, programs and workshops, as well as, the Annual Benefit Art Auction, Artist Toolkits, the Lighton International Artists Exchange Program (LIAEP), Open Studios and the River Market Regional Exhibition.

Artists are the key. The Artists Coalition's support of artistic expression comes in all forms. We show artists with
national reputations; emerging artists who are gaining national recognition; and artists who are building their careers. We
show artists from across the US but also actively seek out and support local artists. The Artists Coalition has provided
over 3,500 artists a chance to show their work, presenting over 460 exhibitions with an attendance of over a quarter of
a million viewers.
