65 Years of KCYA

Join us in celebrating 65 years of arts education and the supporters who have helped shape KCYA’s story.

Together, we look to the future and the opportunity to share this tradition of support with the next generation.

This event includes a plated lunch with a program featuring award presentations. Please join us for a celebratory lunch and help support the next generation of Kansas City Young Audiences! Please visit the event website for more details on this year’s luncheon.
