OPEN SPACES, CITY-WIDE ARTS FESTIVAL HELD IN AUGUST-OCTOBER 2018. Activities for 2019-20 included finishing off the financial activities. Built on the model of Prospect New Orleans and many European biennales, Open Spaces is a new and unique public-philanthropic partnership between KC Creates and the City of Kansas City, Missouri, and private donors and foundations. The inaugural event consisted of multiple large-scale visual art installations by regional, national, and internationally recognized artists. Envisioned by Mayor Sly James, the Festival was geared towards addressing some of the geographic and cultural divides in our community. For nine weeks, in paces both familiar and new, in parks and urban spaces, in galleries, performance halls, and outdoor stages, Open Spaces transformed Kansas City into a living cultural tapestry into which the best of the world's collective imagination was woven. Nearly 100,000 Kansas Citians took part in the 2018 events.

WATERFIRE, A FREE OUTDOOR FESTIVAL OF MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS ON THE WATER. ACCOUNTING FOR THE 2019 EVENT WAS MOVED TO KC WATERFIRE. The event is a celebration of art with over 50 sparkling bonfires that float in Brush Creek through the Country Club Plaza, sintered by the award-winning art installation by Barnaby Evans. The fragrant wood smoke, the flickering firelight on the arched bridges, and the enchanting music from around the world engage all the senses of those who stroll the banks of Brush Creek. The urban landscape becomes a living work of art, and integrates live music, dance, and fire performances in the Dark. For many attendees, WaterFire is their first experience of "art." Kansas City is one of only three cities in the world where this inspirational art installation can be experienced. Over 100,000 people have participated in this free event since it started in Kansas City in 2009.
