We’ve been overwhelmed, in the very best way, by the response and applications we’ve received for The Signature Project! Thank you to everyone who has shared the opportunity and encouraged emerging artists to apply.

The Signature Project will give Kansas college artists and recent graduates a chance to exhibit their work, gain exposure, develop their artist bio, and introduce a limited-edition piece as part of their collection. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for our community to discover rising artists and begin collecting their work.

Applications are still open through October 30! If you’re an interested college student or recent graduate, we’d love to hear from you.
