Information
- Location Kansas City, Missouri
The Zhou B Art Center is a new hub for visual and performing arts in Kansas City. The Zhou Brothers, ShanZuo and DaHuang Zhou, founded the first Zhou B Art Center in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood in 2004, and is now expanded to Kansas City as the first offshoot location for a new center. The project involves the expansion and renovation of the landmark Crispus Attucks School building in Kansas City’s historic 18th and Vine Jazz District. The building’s main entrance is relocated into a new addition facing 18th Street for a stronger connection between the Art Center and the Jazz District, and the former school playgrounds are renovated as a sculpture garden and outdoor event space. The Zhou B Art Center houses expansive art galleries, a restored auditorium, and over 40 studios for working artists.
