About the Art

The Kansas City Art Institute is a private art & design college located next door to the Oak Street Mansion. KCAI curates the artwork on our walls at both the Oak Street Mansion and our sister property, Southmoreland on the Plaza. Notable names associated with the Kansas City Art Institute include Walt Disney, who took Saturday classes here as a child; painter Thomas Hart Benton, who taught here from 1935 to 1941; multimedia artist Robert Rauschenberg, who studied fashion design at KCAI; sculptor, conceptual artist, and writer Robert Morris; celebrated, present-day performance artist, noted fabric sculptor Nick Cave, and the list goes on. Today, KCAI is an impressive reflection of its 137-year history and the community in which it evolved. The artwork on display at the mansion is a mix of student, faculty, and alumni pieces.
