Barney Allis Plaza
Petrichor Projects, serving as the Curatorial Arts Consultant, is leading the commissioning of integrated public art to transform Barney Allis Plaza, reimagining this iconic downtown space as a world-class cultural destination. Through a redefined public art commissioning process that integrates local museums, fosters artistic excellence, and expands access to public art opportunities, we are shaping a program that reflects Kansas City’s cultural identity. An international RFQ inviting artists from around the world to participate is open for submissions.
