Charlotte Street's Annual Open Studios Will Return With 31 Artists in Residence

Charlotte Street's Studio Residency Program will open its doors on Saturday, April 25, 2026, for its much-anticipated annual Open Studios event. This free, one-day-only community program takes place from 3:00–10:00 PM at Charlotte Street's campus at 3333 Wyoming Street, Kansas City, MO 64111. Open Studios highlights recent work of the 31 visual artists, writers, and performers currently in Charlotte Street's Studio Residency Program.

Open Studios is an open invitation to the community to step into the creative process—explore studios, meet the artists, watch performances, listen to writers read new work, and see how artists are experimenting, collaborating, and evolving their practice.
