History

InterUrban ArtHouse was founded and developed by local community artist, Nicole Emanuel. We began in 2011 as a series of conversations with artists, arts organizations and civic and business leaders. It was clear there was a void in arts resources and studio facilities for Northeast Kansas.

The release of several reports including The Status of Artists in Kansas City, the Suburban Arts Business Plan, Arts & Economic Prosperity Study IV and Local Arts Index reports provided the hard evidence that points to a need for a cultural and creative hub at the Southwestern end of the Metro Arts Corridor, a region that stretches across the state line from Downtown KC.

Kansas City Metro’s creative renaissance is a unique arts ecology that is anchored in a diaspora of locations across a span across the state-line between Kansas and Missouri. InterUrban ArtHouse is just one of the hubs that act as an anchor along this metro-wide cultural corridor.
