Artists and writers gather to identify shared needs, ethical practices, and next steps for strengthening critical arts writing in KC region.
About this Event

The Artist Assembly is a bi-annual gathering for Kansas City artists, culture bearers, and artist organizers to reflect on shared needs and help shape supportive resources for our creative community.

This Deep Dive focuses on critical arts writing in Kansas City: how artists and writers talk about art, who gets to participate in those conversations, and how criticism can be more accessible, ethical, and responsive to lived experience. Writers, artists, arts educators, and non-writers are warmly encouraged to attend.

Participants will have the opportunity to share perspectives, name challenges, and identify what kinds of mentorship, programming, and support would make engaging in critical and interdisciplinary writing more viable.

Outcomes: Shared language, peer connection, and a role in shaping future arts writing resources and programming in Kansas City.
