KCAI

Illustration students from the Kansas City Art Institute are inviting artists of all ages to help them complete colorful murals that are turning a neglected alleyway into a communal space for neighbors to gather.

Each year, arts groups from across the state gather in Jefferson City to lobby Missouri lawmakers during their legislative session. For six students from the Kansas City Art Institute, the February trip to Missouri's state Capitol was a chance to leave the art supplies at home and become lobbyists.

A never-before-seen collection of work featuring artists of color collected by the Nerman family is showing at KCAI's gallery through October 17.
