New Scholarship Program for Adults

Are you interested in learning to draw, paint, or sculpt, but can’t afford the extra expense of art classes? The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in mid-town Kansas City is now offering scholarship assistance to adults who would like an opportunity to enroll in museum art classes. The Ford Learning Center offers a unique selection of weekend and evening studio courses specifically for adult audiences. Students view the museum’s world famous art collection while also receiving hands-on instruction on varied art processes. Art experience is not required…just a desire to create and explore!

Scholarships are awarded to adult applicants based on financial need and a desire to participate. A limited number of scholarships are available each session and are awarded to qualified students on a first-come, first- served basis. To be considered for a scholarship, you must submit a completed, online application at least one week prior to the start of class.

View a complete list of adult classes here or call 816-751-1ART for more information.

Please take a moment to review the scholarship application. If you have questions you may call the Educator of Public Programs at 816-751-1372.
