The Art of (KC Structures)

September 22, 2018  |  Brad Austin, Kelly Cordingley  |  1 min read

Our photography series, “The Art of (KC),” brings you beautiful, thought-provoking and compelling images of what makes our city tick.

There’s no doubt Arrowhead Stadium will be rocking this weekend in what may be the most anticipated home opener since Joe Montana put on his No. 19 jersey. With that in mind, we turn our artistic eye to other structures in and around the Kansas City area, ranging from the beauty of The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts to the largest freestanding tower in North America (pictured above).
