Who do we want?

The 18th & Vine Arts Festival is a celebration of culture and art from around the world. Our mission is to bring together local, national, and international artists to the historically Black neighborhood of 18th & Vine in Kansas City for a weekend of performances, music, art exhibitions, and more.

The festival provides an important platform for Black artists to showcase their work. We strive to create an inclusive space where people from all walks of life can come together to appreciate the beauty of diverse cultures.
