Art Spark is No Divide KC’s community-based arts education program, offering free, hands-on workshops led by local artists. Since its launch, Art Spark has brought free art programming to over 700 kids and teens across Kansas City. Each session invites people of all ages to explore creativity, identity, and connection through the arts.
“These programs have been incredible for our teens. Our facilitator always has such warm and engaging energy that gets our teens up and moving and feel inspired to go outside their comfort zones! ”
