The Leedy-Voulkos Art Center (LVAC) is a nonprofit public charity and a living artist community rooted in Jim Leedy’s vision for Leedyville. For more than four decades, LVAC has provided a place where artists can create, exhibit, connect, and flourish. Today, LVAC carries that vision forward through Leedyville Studio Artists, exhibitions, education, public programs, Legacy Artists, and resources that connect artists with the community.
The Leedy Foundation is a private nonprofit foundation dedicated to preserving Jim Leedy’s artistic legacy and the history of Leedyville. Through research, documentation, and conservation, the Foundation cares for Jim’s artwork and archives, helping ensure that his work, vision, and contributions to Kansas City’s artistic history endure for generations to come. The Leedy Foundation Gallery, currently in development within LVAC, will provide a dedicated space to share Jim’s work and the history of the community he helped create.
LVAC carries the vision forward. The Leedy Foundation preserves the legacy.
Two Organizations. A Shared Vision.
