THE GIFT SHOP
The Leedy-Voulkos Art Center Shop blurs the line between a gallery setting and retail shop.
The Leedy-Voulkos Art Center Shop hosts a variety of work from nearly 40 artists – most of whom are from the Kansas City area. The intent is for the shop to be accessible in both format and price. We seek to promote the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center Shop and the Crossroads district as a shopping destination, both during the First Friday openings and beyond.
OPEN CALL FOR NEW SHOP ARTISTS
The Leedy-Voulkos Art Center is seeking new artists to feature in our Gift Shop! With the excitement of the World Cup coming to Kansas City this summer, we expect an increase in visitors exploring the Crossroads, and we want to showcase a fresh selection of unique, high-quality small works.
We’re looking for:
-
Small artworks and objects that are well-crafted and easy to display
-
Ceramics, jewelry, small prints, zines, textiles, handmade goods, postcards, cards, scarves, sticker and other small works
-
Items priced under $150 (ideal for tourists and gift-seekers)
Artists must:
-
Live or work in the Kansas City region (preferred but not required)
-
Be able to restock work as needed
-
Provide clear pricing and inventory lists
Deadline to Submit: January 30, 2026
We look forward to discovering new local talent and sharing your work with the thousands of visitors exploring the Crossroads during this exciting summer!
