Blue Gallery

The Blue Gallery, nestled in the Crossroads Arts District of Kansas City, has been a cornerstone for Kansas City's thriving art scene for over two decades. Founded in 2000 by Kelly and David Kuhn, the gallery embraces a deep-rooted philosophy: the idea that art and beauty are an integral part of life. Guided by an abiding belief in the transformative power of art, this gallery has since become a haven for artists and lovers of art alike. The Blue Gallery is the perfect interface between creation and appreciation.

The gallery represents over 40 artists, ranging from emerging talents to nationally recognized figures, with works featured in private and public collections worldwide. Its exhibitions, held a number of times during the year, reflect a wide variety of artistic voices and invite visitors into an area where creativity and contemplation meet. Being a strong participant in First Fridays of Kansas City, Blue Gallery takes part in the monthly celebration of art in the Crossroads Arts District, cultivating community engagement through its accessible approach.

Core to their success is the unrelenting commitment of Blue Gallery to integrity, passion, and quality. Every decision, from the artist collaboration to the relationship with collectors, has these core tenets in mind. With 30 years of working experience with professional artists and collectors, Kelly Kuhn guides the ethos of the gallery: all-inclusive and transformational. This commitment has seen Blue Gallery garner several awards and reviews from KC Magazine, Ingram's Magazine, and 435 Magazine, with Visit KC recognizing it as a favorite art destination.

Blue Gallery also embraces innovation with services such as virtual artwork installations. This service allows clients to visualize art in their spaces through scaled digital renderings, ensuring that each piece harmonizes with its intended environment. In this way, the gallery keeps art approachable and relevant to a wide audience by marrying tradition with modern conveniences.

Besides its identity as an art gallery, the Blue Gallery stands to tell about the relentless power of creation. Through its mission, it upholds art's identity as an international language and as a mirror of human experiences. This gallery has been an inspirator since its founding some 22 years ago and commits itself to fostering ties among the artists, their works, and the community.
