Kansas City’s premier fundraising luncheon returns this fall!

Join us for the C100 Luncheon, the signature event of the Nelson-Atkins’ Committee of 100, where art, design, and community come together in an unforgettable experience. This beloved annual tradition invites guests to enjoy a day of elegance, inspiration, and philanthropy in support of the museum’s mission.

The event begins with a picturesque reception in the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park, followed by an engaging presentation in Atkins Auditorium by celebrated interior designers Ellie Cullman and Associates. Ellie Cullman, founding partner of the acclaimed firm Cullman & Kravis, brings a fresh perspective to classic interiors, blending timeless beauty with contemporary sensibility. Known for their award-winning designs, bestselling books, and leadership in the field, the firm continues to shape the future of design with sophistication and heart.

Following the presentation, guests will enjoy a curated luncheon beneath the soaring columns of Kirkwood Hall, surrounded by art and fellow supporters of the museum.
