Brookside Art Annual - POSTPONED

Per requests for a shareable post - BROOKSIDE ART ANNUAL POSTPONED. We regret to announce that we are postponing the 35th Brookside Art Annual due to COVID-19. This year’s Art Annual was to have been held May 1st-3rd, but to ensure public safety and meet current restrictions on public gatherings, we must postpone the event to a future date. We will reevaluate our options as we determine when gathering and stay-at-home restrictions will be lifted, it is deemed safe to be out in large numbers again, and a more appropriate date becomes apparent. Follow us Facebook and watch www.BrooksideKC.org

for updates and announcements.

Join us for the 35th Brookside Art Annual Friday, May 1st through Sunday, May 3rd.

The Art Annual is celebrating its 35th year in May 2020. We hope you'll join us to celebrate one of the KC metro's largest annual attractions right here in Brookside. Located in an eclectic neighborhood in the center of Kansas City, Brookside is just minutes from downtown, the Plaza and the southern suburbs. This is the first art show of the year and draws over 70,000 people from across the region. The focus of the show is on ART! This community loves art and the show consistently ranks in the top shows in the Country according to Art Source. Art Source quote "This is a very pleasant, national caliber event attracting an affluent, enthusiastic and knowledgeable clientele."

The Brookside Art Annual is hosted by the Brookside Business Association (BBA). The BBA is a non-profit organization of merchants working to promote and improve the community in the heart of Kansas City. Dominated by quaint neighborhoods, the Brookside neighborhood becomes the center of the Midwest art community each May. The Brookside Art Annual is known for its festive atmosphere, hospitality, convenience, and has become a must-attend event for artists and art seekers alike.

The show is located at 63rd and Brookside Boulevard (one block east of Wornall) between 63rd Street and Meyer Boulevard.

2020 Art Annual Hours:

• Friday, May 1st, 5pm-9pm
• Saturday, May 2nd, 10am-9pm
• Sunday, May 3rd, 11am-5pm

The show includes children's activities on Saturday and Sunday, including face painting, arts and crafts, balloon animals and more. And while you’re at the show enjoy some of the best Brookside has to offer at our Art Annual food booths - local restaurants serve up a variety of delicious food and drink options ranging from savory burgers to bacon wrapped dates, and stuffed artichoke to lobster mac & cheese. There’s something for everyone!
