In 1972, civic leaders from four Midwestern states gathered in the belief that the arts and humanities would flourish on the Great Plains if their states worked together to increase opportunity, education, and rural development. Out of that meeting came Mid-America Arts Alliance, the first regional arts organization in the United States. Today our partner states are Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Driven by our vision to enrich communities through extraordinary cultural experiences, we bring more than 800 exhibitions and performances and more than 1,000 educational activities to more than one million individuals every year. While the majority of these activities occur in our six-state region, many occur nationwide through our touring exhibition programs. Mid-America’s programming is delivered through three program divisions: Visual Arts and Humanities, Performing Arts, and Professional Development.
