Kansas City, MO – The nonprofit Arts Incubator provides an opportunity for artists to get their careers started with low-cost studios and exhibition space. It celebrates five years in Kansas City this weekend. Founder and Executive Director Jeff Becker gave KCUR's Laura Spencer a tour recently. Becker is trained as a sculptor, but he says it was his business background that inspired him to start the organization.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.

Your support has always made KCUR's work possible — from reporting that keeps officials accountable, to storytelling to connects our community. Help ensure the future of local journalism.
