It's a must see show of top artists from across the country set in beautiful and historic Brookside, Kansas City. Join us for the 2024 Brookside Art Annual Friday May 3rd through Sunday, May 5th, 2024! The Art Annual is celebrating its 38th year in 2024. We hope you'll join us to celebrate one of the KC metro's largest annual attractions right here in Brookside. Located in an eclectic neighborhood

in the center of Kansas City, Brookside is just minutes from downtown, the Plaza and the southern suburbs. This is the first art show of the year and draws thousands of people from across the region. The show is located at 63rd and Brookside Boulevard (one block east of Wornall) between 63rd Street and Meyer Boulevard. The annual show includes children's activities, including face painting, arts and crafts, balloon animals and more. And while you’re at the show enjoy some of the best Brookside has to offer at our Art Annual food booths - local restaurants serve up a variety of delicious food and drink options ranging from savory burgers to ice cream to fresh-squeezed lemonade. There's wine, beer and cocktails too. There’s something for everyone! The Brookside Art Annual is hosted by the Brookside Business Association (BBA) with support from Cosentino's Price Chopper, Cosentino's Market, and other annual sponsor. The BBA is a non-profit organization of merchants working to promote and improve the community in the heart of Kansas City. Dominated by quaint neighborhoods, the Brookside neighborhood becomes the center of the Midwest art community each May. The Brookside Art Annual is known for its festive atmosphere, hospitality, and convenience, and has become a must-attend event for artists and art seekers alike.

The 2026 Brookside Art Annual brought a special opportunity to collaborate with Border Star Montessori School and visiting artists Steve Jones (Booth 232), Jennifer Lashbrook (180), and Scott Hildebrandt (Booth 155) who inspired future artists with stories about their unique works and how they started. We've enjoyed seeing the excited students, teachers and parents at the show all weekend.

The students also got to ask hard hitting questions. Some of our favorites - Can kids visit the artists in the show? (Absolutely!) Is their face painting? (Yes 🤣) Can kids have their art in the show? (We'd love to learn students become artists and join us in the future!) Which piece of art was the hardest? (One piece that took over 6 months to finish to installations that included over 100 pieces and took over a year to complete.)
