Vacant Farm is sending out an open call for 2015 proposals. Vacant Farm is in process of organizing events and projects for 2015 and would like to include you in our calendar! Our emphasis this year is on world building, resistance, and alternative communities. Have a project in mind? Come make space!

About Vacant Farm:
Vacant Farm is a physical space and conceptual idea that transgresses and transcends traditional titles and hierarchies of the art world, community organizations, and the political. Vacant Farm provides a safe and supportive location for any individual or group who is interested in cultivating, transforming, and redefining what it means to create and work in Kansas City. Through engaging with a diverse set of cultural producers, Vacant Farm encourages a unique, dynamic, and active audience experience. We welcome all parts of the KC community to utilize Vacant Farm as a platform for artistic expression, performance, meetings, music, screenings, and any form of community event through artist studios and event spaces.

Our physical space is extensive and versatile. We have a small white wall gallery space as well as a large open concrete area. For a layout visit our website : https://vacantfarmkc.squarespace.com/studio-spaces/
