2021 Brookside Art Annual rescheduled – Sept 17th to 19th
The show goes on - a new date, but the same great show! The 2021 Art Annual will be held Friday, September 17th through Sunday, September 19th. Typically Kansas City’s first outdoor art show of the year, the Brookside Art Annual has been rescheduled to allow further response to COVID-19. The Brookside Business Association and Brookside CID are excited to host the 35th Brookside Art Annual which has become a Kansas City tradition and means so much to our community, our businesses, and the artists who come from across the nation.
The Brookside Business Association and the Brookside Community Improvement District cancelled of the 35th Brookside Art Annual, originally scheduled for May 1st through 3rd and then rescheduled for September 18th through 20th. “It is with great sadness that we share the difficult decision made to cancel the 2020 Brookside Art Annual. This decision was made after weeks of careful deliberation about the challenging and evolving impacts of COVID-19 and consultation with artists and local health officials. As an event that relies on the regional and national travel of artists and hosts many at-risk demographics, we are confident this is the best decision to ensure the safety of artists and our community during this time,” said Kim Harris, President of the Brookside CID. “We look forward to returning stronger next year. We know how much everyone will miss the show and can’t wait to celebrate in 2021.”
